Vanessa Weddell,
Head of events
What a year it has been!
Since the pandemic began, virtual CharityComms HQ has been working hard to support our members throughout the crisis. Our events programme is still completely online and will continue to be so through 1 May 2022 to help our events reach more people than ever before and keep you safe.
We know that it’s still a hugely difficult time for charities, and we are committed to providing you with the information and training needed to help you and your teams meet these challenges. We’re working hard to bring you timely and relevant event content in a variety of formats, including our on demand feature so that you can explore the content whenever suits you best.
Thank you for your continued support – we’re still in this together!
