Dear <<First Name>>

What an upside down year this has been! I've decided to give you a break from the charity news round-up because you're probably pretty tired if you're anything like me (double month round-up to come in January), but there's some good stuff to enjoy in here even so, including a coupon worth some actual money!

Welcome to the Festive Fundraising Jukebox!

In order to bring some musical good cheer while raising some cash for two brilliant charities, Youth Talk and Alcohol Change, I've been taking festive tune requests and performing them, sometimes with myself(!) and sometimes with other bandmates. The response has been almost literally overwhelming. At the time of writing, there are over 30 festive tunes on the jukebox (with 5 requests in the works), thanks to 4 band members and 8 guest musicians. More importantly, we've now raised over £800 for what started out as just a bit of fun!

Check out the Festive Fundraising Jukebox here.

Fundraising Strategy Virtual Summit
Assess. Plan. Fundraise. Change the world.

I'm very excited to be curating the world's first (we think) global virtual summit devoted solely to fundraising strategy, brought to you in partnership with Fundraising Everywhere - the Fundraising Strategy Virtual Summit. It's taking place in March 2021, and we've already locked in some great speakers and hosts.

There has never been a more important time for your fundraising strategy to be bang on. If you’re a sole fundraiser, a fundraiser working in a team, a fundraising leader, or a non-fundraiser looking to understand the role you can play to support it within your organisation, this summit’s for you.

Special offer for newsletter readers! To get a further 25% off the Early Bird price, type "RICHARD25" into the Coupon Code box.

On the blog

And here are a few blogs and write-ups of recent events attended:

Still want to read more? On our website there is a wealth of insight, stories, links and blogs. All articles are categorised by subject matter: charity management, communications, fundraising, governance, and professional development.

And there’s even more!

Book a chat, wave, smile!

One of the silver linings of this whole period has been how much easier it's been to meet and chat with people! If you fancy a chat on Zoom (other videoconferencing apps are available), just click here to fix it up. Nearly 100 people have booked in meetings with me so far and it's been a joy!

LET'S STAY IN TOUCH

That's all for now. Do give me a call, drop me a line or join over 80 others in the past two months by booking an appointment with me if you would like to chat or smile/wave, and I'm on Twitter here.

In the meantime, enjoy a well earned break!

With best wishes,
