Third Sector: The Conference

23-24 June 2026

Building a stronger and more resilient charity sector.


.


Turning sector pressure into non-profit power.

Charities and non-profits are the beating heart of our society. But let’s be honest: between skyrocketing costs, shrinking budgets, and the relentless grind for funding, just keeping the lights on can feel like a victory. It’s tough, and it’s easy for your team’s vital mission to get lost in the noise. 

When the pressure is on, you don't just need to survive - you need a blueprint to thrive.

Third Sector: The Conference is that blueprint.

🗓️ 23-24 June 2026 |📍1 Wimpole Street, London


Join the brightest minds in the sector for two days of sharp, actionable insights and hands-on workshops.

We’re stripping away the fluff to help you defeat burnout, spark innovation and map out a concrete strategy for sustainable success, no matter your charity’s size.

Why spend 2 days out of the office?



Build a more resilient and sustainable organisation.

Get clear, practical answers on finance, governance, and proving your worth - the tools you need to stop just surviving and make sure your charity stays strong for years to come.

Refill your tank and inspire your team to do the same.

Leading is exhausting. Step away from the daily demands to rekindle your sense of purpose. Hear inspiring stories and case studies that will fill you with fresh energy, giving you the ideas and motivation to go back and spark genuine enthusiasm in your team.

Find your people. (The ones who really get it)

Connect with hundreds of peers who share in the joys and challenges of charity work. This is the place to build a powerful support system, find new collaborators, and share candid conversations about the journey you're all on.

Take home solutions for every struggle.

The conference is not just a fundraising workshop. Whether you need help with the latest digital tools, leading through a time of crisis or managing a board, you will find meaningful, strategic insights for every part of your job.

Addressing 4 key focus areas



A connected and inclusive sector: Empowering charities of all sizes


Explore how the sector can ensure that smaller and medium-sized charities are given a voice, access to resources and opportunities for collaboration. Discussions will cover shared infrastructure, equitable funding strategies and inclusive partnership models.


Sector resilience, innovation, and leadership adaptability


With cost-of-living pressures, a volatile funding landscape and a swathe of restructures and closures, leaders must adapt rapidly. Discuss progressive leadership models, decision-making under uncertainty, and innovative responses to uncertain times.

Hands-on learning and operational support


Hear practical guidance around organisational skill-building, regulatory compliance and operational sustainability. Make sure you are up to speed with the latest knowledge of fundraising, finance, governance and partnerships.

Storytelling, digital engagement, and communication innovation


Charities increasingly need to inspire audiences, from donors to policymakers. Celebrate creativity, communication, and technology - including how AI and social media can amplify impact and drive your purpose forward.
