Great Britain – Charity Workshop Series with Carmel McConnell 2021


Charity Workshop Series

The Ireland Funds Great Britain has launched a series of expert-led workshops for charities. This exciting new series aims to help charities to elevate their fundraising capabilities. Leading individuals in the charity sector will share their lived experience of taking smaller campaigns and organisations to national scale, leveraging the private and public sectors on the way.



Workshop

Our first workshop took place on 15 April on the topic of Partnering with Local and National Funders to Scale and was led by the inspiring Carmel McConnell MBE, founder of Magic Breakfast charity.
