Kreston UK Charities Webinar 2024: Navigating Challenges in the Charity Sector
Event Details
We are delighted to invite you to join our free Kreston UK Charities webinar, during which we will provide insight derived from our newly released Kreston UK Charity Report, including financial matters, cyber security concerns, the political landscape as well as workplace considerations including diversity, recruitment, and pay.
The sessions will be delivered by fellow sector specialists from the Kreston Global network, Duncan & Toplis, Clive Owen and James Cowper Kreston.
We are also delighted to be joined by Lucy Peake, Chief Executive of Kinship, a national charity dedicated solely to supporting kinship carers who are raising a relative’s or friend’s child. During the webinar Lucy will discuss her practical experience of running a charity as well as providing her insights into the impact of the key themes from the report.
Our agenda has been shaped by the key concerns of the charities that contributed to the report, and will cover:
- Financial outlook and diversification strategies
- Recruitment and retention challenges
- Cybersecurity resilience
- Political climate and its impact
Who should attend?
The session will be highly relevant to decision-makers with responsibility for finance, IT and HR functions.
