A charity roundtable aiming to boost fundraising and collaboration has brought together leaders from across the sector.
MP Jess Brown-Fuller hosted the event in Chichester on Thursday, May 28, at One-O-Four Chichester, following visits to charities across her constituency where fundraising was repeatedly raised as a key concern.
She said: "So many of the brilliant charities I have visited across the constituency told me that fundraising is where they need the most support. I wanted to create a space where they could come together, share what they know, and learn from each other.
"Tonight showed just how much expertise and goodwill exists within our local charity sector, and I hope the connections made here will make a real difference."
The roundtable brought together more than 50 CEOs, fundraisers and volunteers from local charities.
