Small charities often face very different challenges to larger organisations, which is why we run this dedicated annual event.
We looked at ways to make the most of limited resources, and how small size doesn’t need to mean small impact when it comes to communications.
The day was a mix of expert sessions, peer discussions, workshops and case studies which gave practical take-home actions, inspiration and new contacts to continue the conversation with post-event.
