Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Will this be for leaders like me?

We welcome leaders from all walks of life, whatever your background or title, if you’re holding the weight of a cause – you belong here.

Question 2: Will I be made to feel welcome?

We set up Charity Leaders UK to be inclusive and keep inclusion at the heart of what we do. You will definitely be made to feel welcome, we just ask you to respect our rules around kindness. We don't tolerate any bullying in the community, discrimination or intolerance. We pride ourselves on creating safe spaces, and we will expect you to contribute to our community safety. Our communities are working on important, sometimes controversial causes, this means we ask you to leave judgement at the door.

Question 3:Can I justify this when times are tight?

Our charity members raise more money, succeed more in their roles, and run more stable and sustainable organisations. Knowledge and expertise is power, and will help you to get through the times ahead.

Question 4: What if I can't make all the workshops?

All masterclasses are recorded, group sessions aren't- however, you'll still be able to network in our private leaders community.
