Testimonials


"Forster sponsored three CharityComms conference events and each one was a resounding success, with interesting talks and seminars and genuine engagement in the subject from all the delegates. As an integrated communications agency working on social change issues, we made genuine business leads at each of the three sessions and are now working with our first client to come as a direct result of a meeting at CharityComms – with plenty of other opportunities in the pipeline.”

Gillian Daines, Marketing Manager, Forster


"Having a stand at a CharityComms event is a perfect way to meet up with existing clients and build relationships with new ones, hopefully! The friendly atmosphere also makes it a really enjoyable day and the well planned layout and schedule allows you plenty of time to get your message across. It's also a great way to find out about new trends and strategies in the charity sector as they always attract informative speakers to run sessions and workshops."

Jonathan Purchase, Head of UK Market Development, Engaging Networks


"Being a corporate member of CharityComms pays genuine business dividends. We have secured significant contracts with a number of charities as a direct result of contacts made at CharityComms events."

Amanda Prosser, Director, PublicZone
