A diverse network of connections is essential for both people and organisations in the non-profit sector. The purpose of the Charity Meetup is help to foster and grow these connections.

The Charity Meetup is a relaxed evening of drinks, chatting, networking and fun, and all are welcome. The event was created by Dawn Newton, after noticing that there were lots of events but nothing which  supported participants to network in a practical way through facilitated activities.

This event will have the theme of 'Innovation' and will feature  two expert speakers as well as plenty of time for networking games and activities.

The speakers at the event are:

- Jamie Parkins from JustGiving, who  will give us his toptips on transforming your office culture to one that encourages innovation.

- Lucy Gower, who  will share her insights on innovation with us. Lucy will also run a ‘yes, and...’ exercise that will help people when they are back in the office to do innovation. Lucy Gower is a trainer and coach specialising in innovation. She led the first innovation team at the NSPCC. Since leaving the NSPCC in 2012 Lucy has worked with over 50 organisations including Amnesty, Cystic Fibrosis Trust, Nesta, The Children’s Society and Greenpeace.
