The Charity Hub is proud to introduce The Great British Charity Conference, a full-day event designed to bring together charities, CICs, social enterprises, funders, businesses, public-sector teams and people who care about strengthening the third sector.


People seated at round tables in a conference hall, chatting and listening to a projected presentation with event banners on the walls.

Taking place on Tuesday 10 November at Cast, Doncaster, the conference has been created for organisations that want more than another room full of introductions. This is a day built around practical insight, useful conversations and clearer next steps.


For charities and community organisations, the challenges are often familiar. Funding is competitive. Capacity is limited. Demand continues to grow. Relationships with funders, businesses and local partners can make a real difference, but those relationships are not always easy to build without the right spaces to start the conversation.


That is why this conference matters.


A Day Built Around Practical Insight

The Great British Charity Conference is designed to help organisations think more clearly about funding, growth, partnership and long-term sustainability.

Across the day, attendees will have opportunities to hear from people with experience in funding, business engagement, leadership, social value, community impact and organisational growth.


The programme will explore the kinds of conversations many organisations need right now, from what funders are looking for, to how charities can work more effectively with businesses, strengthen their income routes and build more sustainable partnerships.


This is not about theory for the sake of it. It is about helping people leave with useful ideas, stronger contacts and a better understanding of what they can do next.


Funding, Social Value and Stronger Partnerships

For many charities and CICs, funding remains one of the biggest pressures.

But income does not only come from one place. Stronger relationships with foundations, businesses, funders, public-sector partners and local organisations can all help create more opportunities.


The conference will look at funding, CSR, social value, B Corp, partnership working and real examples of organisational growth. These are important conversations because the third sector does not exist in isolation. Charities and community organisations often do their best work when they are connected to the right people, supporters and decision-makers.


Bringing those groups into one space creates the chance for better understanding on all sides.


Who Should Attend?

The Great British Charity Conference is for people building, funding and supporting good causes.


That includes charities, CICs, social enterprises, trustees, volunteers, funders, local authorities, public-sector teams, businesses and organisations that want to develop stronger community partnerships.


It is also a useful opportunity for businesses that want to understand how to work with charities in a meaningful way. Social value and CSR are strongest when they are connected to real community need, clear relationships and practical action.


For funders and foundations, the day also offers a chance to hear directly from organisations delivering frontline impact and understand where support can make the biggest difference.


More Than a Conference

A good conference is not just about listening to speakers.


It is also about who you meet, what conversations happen in the room and what follows afterwards.


The Great British Charity Conference has been designed to create space for learning, discussion, case studies and networking. The aim is for attendees to leave not only with new information, but with people to follow up with, ideas to develop and practical next steps to take back to their organisation.


For The Charity Hub, that is what makes events like this important. They help bring good people together, create useful introductions and open up conversations that may not happen anywhere else.

The Great British Charity Conference will take place on Tuesday 10 November at Cast, Doncaster.
