Who Should Attend The Great British Charity Conference?
The Great British Charity Conference has been created for people and organisations who are building, funding and supporting good causes.
While the word “charity” is central to the event, the conference is not only for charities. It is for the wider network of people and organisations who help the third sector grow, adapt, collaborate and create stronger community impact.
Taking place on Tuesday 10 November 2026 at Cast, Doncaster, the conference will bring together charities, CICs, social enterprises, funders, businesses, public-sector teams, trustees, volunteers and local partners for a full day of insight, connection and practical discussion.
For Charities and CICs
For charities and CICs, the conference is an opportunity to step back from the day-to-day and think more strategically about funding, growth, relationships and long-term sustainability.
Many good causes are working hard to meet immediate need, but finding the time to build wider connections can be difficult. This conference creates space to meet funders, speak with businesses, hear from sector leaders, learn from growth stories and explore how stronger relationships could support future work.
If your organisation is thinking about funding, partnership, visibility, social value or growth, this event has been built with those conversations in mind.
For Funders and Foundations
Funders and foundations play a vital role in supporting the third sector, but strong funding relationships rely on understanding.
The conference gives funders the opportunity to hear directly from charities, CICs and community organisations delivering frontline impact. It creates space to better understand the pressures organisations are facing, the ambitions they are working towards and the kind of support that can make the biggest difference.
It also offers a chance to be part of wider conversations about the future of funding, stronger relationships and how good causes can be easier to understand, fund and support.
For Businesses
Businesses are increasingly being asked to think about social value, CSR and community impact.
For some, the challenge is knowing where to start. For others, it is about building more meaningful relationships with charities and community organisations that align with their values, skills and local priorities.
The Great British Charity Conference is a chance for businesses to understand the third sector more clearly, meet organisations doing important work and explore how partnership can create genuine value for both sides.
Social value works best when it is practical, connected and rooted in real community need. This event is designed to help those conversations happen.
For Public-Sector Teams and Local Partners
Public-sector teams, local authorities, commissioners and local partners all have a role to play in strengthening community outcomes.
The third sector often delivers support in places and ways that formal systems cannot always reach. Bringing public-sector partners into the same room as charities, CICs, funders and businesses helps create better understanding, clearer communication and more joined-up thinking.
For anyone working around community support, health, wellbeing, education, funding, inclusion, place-making or local delivery, this conference offers a useful opportunity to connect with organisations working directly in communities.
For Trustees, Volunteers and Supporters
Trustees, volunteers and supporters are often central to the success of good causes.
The conference can help people in these roles gain insight into funding, governance, growth, partnerships and wider sector challenges. It is also a chance to better understand how organisations can position themselves, build relationships and make stronger decisions for the future.
Whether someone is new to the third sector or has years of experience, being in the room can help build confidence, knowledge and useful contacts.
A Room Built for Better Conversations
The Great British Charity Conference is about putting the right people in the same room.
It is for people who want to learn, connect, ask questions, share experience and explore what is possible when the sector is better connected.
Good causes need more than goodwill. They need funding, relationships, visibility, skills, space, strategy and support.
This conference is designed to help bring those pieces closer together.
