Mentoring & Training
We are committed to sharing our experience and skills with others in the fundraising and philanthropy sector through training and mentoring.
When you start up a new development office, raise your fundraising ambitions, or launch a campaign, you need to know that all the relevant people across your organisation, from CEO or Trustee to Development Director or volunteer, are equipped to support your vision. We can help embed a culture of philanthropy within your organisation by offering expert briefings, training seminars and one-to-one peer support designed specifically for your needs.
