B Turning the Tax Man into a Donor
Is your charity making the most of tax effective
giving? This session will look at how to maximise
the opportunities to get the tax man to make a con-
tribution to your work. Besides gift aid, other tax
effective giving areas will be covered including pay-
roll giving and government grants, share giving and
gifts of land.
Speaker: Gill Jolly
D Raising Money from Lotteries for the Small Charity
Too often we look at things at face value, see too many
obstacles in our way and give up. The easy option is not to
take any chances and stick to the things we know and trust.
This workshop is designed to get you to think about a given
problem and find a workable solution. By the end of the
workshop you should be able to take any problem you have in
generating interest in your fundraising and turn it around.
Working in groups, you will prepare a presentation on a given
task.
Speaker: Richard Simmonite
E Information for the Intelligent Donor
There is a growing feeling that the material put out
by some fundraising departments does not meet all
the needs of potential donors. This session will look
at current practice and discuss alternative
approaches.
Speaker: Luke FitzHerbert
G Getting Trustees Involved in Fundraising
Charities need their Trustees and Management Committees
to work actively toward achievement of their fundraising
goals. This session will introduce proven techniques for
transforming your trustees into effective, enthusiastic
fundraisers.
Speaker: Trudy Hayden
H Is the Charity Commission Helping Your
Fundraising?
Many people don’t know what information is stored
by the Charity Commission, how to access it and
how to use this to make the most of applications to
trusts. It can also help you find out more about
some individuals. This session will help to give some
insight into this valuable source of information.

Welcome and Opening Plenary:
Philanthropy – Lessons to influence the future
Martin Brookes will speak on the importance of effectiveness in influencing philanthropy. Assessments of trends in
philanthropy ignore the potential importance of the results and achievements of charities in stimulating giving. A
growing number of initiatives are focused on this area both in the UK and overseas. Performance measurement and
articulation of achievements are set to be critical factors in influencing the direction of giving in the future.
Speaker: Martin Brookes, New Philanthropy Capital
