Webinars
Our free webinars provide topical
learning and development
opportunities for charity leaders,
teams and volunteers.
We have two webinar strands: ‘Learning with Leaders’,
which provides fresh thinking and original insight from
academics and leading practitioners, and ‘Essentials
to Excellence’ which focuses on practical skills
development and knowledge sharing on key charity
management topics.
During the year, we had a total of 2,239 delegates at our
19 live webinar sessions, with some individuals attending
one or more sessions. This is a 55% increase on
attendance 昀椀gures last year. 98% of attendees at the live
webinars said they would recommend our webinars to
others. In total, we had 3,895 registrations for webinars,
all of whom received a link to the webinar recording, the
slide deck and signposting to wider reading related to
the webinar topic.
Our most popular webinar, with 20% of the total
attendees, was on the topic of sustainable fundraising,
with a focus on how to reduce reliance on grants, and
increase income sources. The next most popular was
another funding related topic, ‘Unrestricted revenue
without tears.’ This re昀氀ects what we know to be the most
challenging area for charity leaders at this time: 49% of
our webinar attendees in the year told us that raising
funds and generating income is their most dif昀椀cult task.
Our two webinars on Arti昀椀cial Intelligence (AI) were
our next most popular, the 昀椀rst gave charities practical
advice on where to start with AI, and the follow up
webinar was delivered by the same volunteer, who
answered delegates’ questions from the 昀椀rst webinar.
