  The big picture: Faith and charities today

  How religious is Britain today? What impact does religion have on people’s attitudes, behaviour and relationships with charities? Why is the number of faith charities increasing when the UK is becoming more secular? What opportunities and challenges do Britain’s faith charities face today? This session will provide the data you need to know to inform your strategy.

  The role of faith in leadership
  What are the many ways in which leaders can use their faith to make a positive difference to their charity and the people they serve? What happens when leaders find it difficult to separate their beliefs from their professional responsibilities, thus impacting on their legal obligations? This session will explore how faith informs leadership and decision-making and provide practical examples to help you lead effectively.

  Making the case for service delivery by faith-based charities
  We know that the extent and impact of the work of faith-based organisations, and their reach into communities, are often marginalised. Drawing on the experiences of members of the Faith Action Network, this session will help faith charities understand how to effectively demonstrate their impact in a world where doubt is often cast on their abilities and effectiveness.

  Using design-led principles to inform your fundraising strategy
  Christian Aid Week is one of the longest running annual fundraising weeks on the calendar. Yet despite this, it has not been immune from the same challenges facing other organisations, including an ageing donor base, and disruption caused by new and emerging technology. This session will outline how Christian Aid took a new approach to solving these challenges and used design-led principles to develop a new fundraising strategy for Christian Aid Week.

  Protecting your reputation
  What happens when a crisis hits? How do you make sure your stakeholders, your reputation and your income are protected? What systems and processes need to be in place to help prevent crises from taking place and to minimise the damage if and when one occurs? Drawing on the speakers’ own experiences at Islamic Relief, this session will provide some of the answers.
  
  Khaleel Desai, head of governance, and Judith Escribano, head of communications, Islamic Relief Worldwide

  Panel discussion: Have faith organisations failed their communities?
  UK society is more divided than ever. Hate crime is increasing. Poverty is increasing. What’s gone wrong and why? Have faith charities done all they can to speak out against and address inequalities? How can we bring our communities back together again? Against a backdrop of Brexit, Windrush and Grenfell, this panel will discuss all these questions and more.
