‘Fundraisers are in a delicate position – they create enormous impact for the charities they work for, but many are working towards burnout, and some are thinking of leaving the profession all together.’
This is the opening statement from the Chartered Institute of Fundraising talking about why they continue to focus on wellbeing at Fundraising Convention and through their newly released resources collection. As part of this focus to support fundraisers to thrive not just survive day to day, Daryl Upsall International and Sarah Tite Coaching Ltd are providing FREE support to fundraisers, helping them to create the change they want to see for themselves, their teams and organisations.
At Fundraising Convention 2025 whether you are joining In-Person, as part of the Early Careers Programme or On-Demand delegates can:
- Have the space to pause, talk, think and explore with an experienced professional coach. You might want to spend time making a plan to step out of overwhelm yourself; get clarity on an important decision; or maybe you are interested to meet a team of coaches who could support across your organisation. A 30-minute taster coaching session with one of the charity experienced coaching team brought together by Sarah Tite Coaching Ltd is a powerful way to get clarity and kick-start change.
- Book time with the expert team from Daryl Upsall International for a complimentary 30-minute consulting “ask an expert” session with a senior and experienced professional leader to discuss any fundraising challenges and/or opportunities that you face and unlock the potential of your fundraising programme. Or why not take advantage of complimentary 30-minute career /recruitment insight session with a professional career coach and recruitment leader?
Are you curious about what might be possible, or are you telling yourself that…
- I don’t have anything to say. Are you sure there’s nothing you could do with some insights on?
- I don’t have time. Not even 30 minutes?
- I have no big fundraising challenge or opportunity to bring to a session. Plenty of time for this!
- I am neither looking for a new career opportunity or for new staff for my team. It is always great to be connected to people who could support you (some time).
- I don’t know Who is right for me to talk to? That is ok, take some time to read a little more about each coach or consultant. By doing this you are also meeting the team who could support your organisation with coaching or consultation in the future.
- I am going to wait until I am ready! How will you know when you are ready? They say prevention is better than cure, and it’s better to be prepared as the Scouts motto invites us to be!
This is what one of the attendees who took up this offer said:
"Having an open and honest conversation with someone removed from my day to day brought a fresh perspective and encouraged me to continue the rest of my day with a positive and open mindset. Thank you Judith”.
