We recently finished a piece of work for ShareAction, a charity with a mission to harness the power of the financial system to tackle big environmental and social challenges through responsible investment. Our role? To deliver a range of workshops that would enable and equip their managers to be able to effectively manage their teams in pressurised situations. Why us? They liked our flexible “pick and mix” module approach to training. Read the case study: https://lnkd.in/e5hEnwGF #charity #nonprofit #hr #training

Action Planning celebrated with Stewardship yesterday the launch of their Generosity Report for 2025, exploring #Christian giving in the UK. This is just one of the findings on what regular church attenders give to: - 93% give to their church - 82% give to Christian charities - 71% give to secular charities - 51% give to Christian workers The research showed that the more committed someone is to their Christian faith, the more likely they are to give, both to secular and Christian charities.

For many years, Action Planning and then Stewardship ensured that there was an opportunity once a year for #Christian charities, church leaders and fundraisers to come together to focus on #faith and #fundraising. It was a place to learn together with those who understood our particular challenges and opportunities. Now Action Planning and Stewardship have come together with Yeomans Marketing and Fundraising to bring it back. The Faith & Fundraising Conference will take place on 26th March 2025 at the Royal Geographical Society in South Kensington. There will be a range of speakers, seminars, on-hand help and ideas from experts, and plenty of time for in person networking. Speakers and programme will be announced over the coming weeks, so watch this space. Early bird tickets are now available. #faithandfundraising25
