Working with donors, fundraisers and supporters during times of grief and sadness can be daunting, with many people not knowing what to say, or what they can do to help. 

From our experience we know that some people want to fundraise right after a death, whilst others only feel comfortable to fundraise much further down the line. Fundraising can be a really important part of someone’s bereavement journey and how we work with them makes a huge difference to the outcome.

This session shares insight, tips and tools with you, enabling you to work with your bereaved supporters confidently and with care to build a long-term relationship.

Freddie will also go through 'what a charity runner looks like in 2024' to help you formulate a strategy around runner recruitment and which events will be worth pushing in 2025. He will discuss how RFC can help charities of all sizes in this space and the session will end with some final tips for success.
