Charity Collaborathon: Pace to Protect and Thrive
An innovative event for charity leaders to help them navigate the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The #CharityForum movement, founded by Novacroft, ran an online collaborative workshop on Friday, 11th December, where we announced the findings of a research study into the health of the sector, including what charities are doing more, or less of, to beat current challenges.
Interested in future #CharityForum events? In 2021, we’ll be running sessions focused on:
- Vision hunting
- Scenario planning
- Avatar diagnosis

We want charity leaders to know they are not alone.
When talking to charities during the first lockdown, we found that by getting together and using some simple tools, such as scenario planning, we were able to help them find solutions, together.
