In a discussion, from both sides of the table, around what has changed and what funders now expect, you will hear from three guest panellists on their different points of view.
Michelle Cooper, CEO at County Durham Community Foundation, will detail her experiences from a funder’s perspective, Catherine Marchant, a freelance consultant, will share her thoughts as an applier for funding, and David Stockton from The Great North Air Ambulance Service will give us his take as CEO of a charity that relies more or less solely on public donations/fundraising events.
Breakfast and refreshments will be provided.
