The North West regional group brings together fundraisers from across the region, offering learning opportunities, events and peer support to strengthen professional fundraising practice in the North West.
We are a regional group set up by dedicated fundraisers in the North West of England who are keen to represent, support and provide networking opportunities for people involved in the fundraising sector. This also includes trustees, senior managers and chief executives.
Our group covers Lancashire, Cumbria, Merseyside and Greater Manchester, but fundraisers outside these areas are also very welcome to reach out to us and get involved.
