The theme for 2023 conference is Survive to Thrive

The past three years have been truly challenging, not only for charities and social change organisations, but for individuals too. Many charities have found themselves in ‘survival mode’, trying to ensure day-to-day operations continue, whilst not having time, energy or stability to plan for the future.

As the costs of living continue to increase, and financial and other pressures mount, how can charitable organisations move to a place where they are thriving alongside the communities they serve?

In 2023, what finance and people strategies can charities adopt to move their organisations beyond survival mode? And what can charities do to make best use of their resources?

CFG’s Annual Conference 2023 will equip finance teams and charity leaders with the knowledge, ideas, inspirations and opportunities needed to maximise their impact and take their organisations on the journey from ‘Survive to Thrive’.

We have a special price offer for charities with income of £1mln and below. To book your place at a small charity price please email us at events@cfg.org.uk
