CIoF Central South Regional Conference 2026

Our regional conference returns: practical insights and bold thinking to help you get ahead in fundraising and navigate sector challenges. Getting Ahead in Fundraising and Tackling Sector Challenges In today’s fast-evolving fundraising landscape, organisations must look beyond traditional approaches to stay ahead. This conference brings together sector leaders and practitioners to explore innovative strategies that drive income growth, deepen supporter engagement, and future-proof fundraising efforts. Alongside this, we will address the critical challenges facing the sector; from economic pressures and rising costs to changing donor behaviours and increasing competition. Through expert insights, real-world examples, and collaborative discussion, attendees will gain practical tools and fresh perspectives to navigate complexity and unlock new opportunities. Our full agenda will be announced soon but confirmed speakers include David Amos-Reeves, discussing leadership and career progression, Paul Williams and Lucy Futter from Trinity exploring collaboration in legacy marketing, and Jamie Feaver from Tim Henman Foundation. Join us for a dynamic day of learning, networking, and inspiration designed to help you strengthen your impact and lead with confidence in uncertain times.
