Upgrade your fundraising skills mini series: Part 1

These five 1-hr training sessions will be delivered online.

Voluntary sector organisations this year, even more than ever, are experiencing high uncertainty with regards to generating income. As needs are increasing and funding decreasing, how do you ensure your organisations is still sustainable?
