Lucy Gower – Innovation and Fundraising Consultant, Lucyinnovation

There is a lot of talk about innovation, but what does it mean and more importantly how does innovation help you achieve your organisation’s mission? Lucy will outline what a culture of innovation might look like on a day-to-day basis and ways to inspire all staff to contribute and grow effective ideas.

There is also a free report, co-written by Lucy and nfpSynergy, on Innovation for charities. Click here to download that one.

Life stage and charity engagement: answering age-old questions

Michele Madden – Managing Director, nfpSynergy and Cian Murphy – Researcher, nfpSynergy

How does age affect charities? How do different age groups interact with charities in terms of fundraising, communications and campaigning? Michele and Cian will look at results and trends from our Charity Awareness Monitor and Youth Engagement Monitor. They will also look at how future demographic trends in the UK are set to affect the charity sector and think about how charities should prepare for these changes.
