In this episode of the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, we explore how creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels free and supported to be their true selves benefits us all. While many of us aim to be inclusive, we often don’t realise the barriers we unintentionally uphold.

Together, we’ll dive into practical ways to broaden our approaches to events and communications, ensuring they resonate with and welcome the LGBTQIA+ community. This conversation is not just about education—it's about empathy, self-awareness, and working together to create meaningful change. Let’s learn, grow, and make the world a little more inclusive—one conversation at a time. The Events Fundraising Conference is back again on 30th January! You can register here.

You’ve got the places, you’ve benchmarked the fundraising targets and you know where you’re going to be cheering on race day…but as it stands you’ve got no (or not enough) runners? Well this is where a lot of charities find themselves, as the hardest part of growing your fundraising through running events is physically getting a runner to sign up and getting them fundraising… In this session Marc Roby will go through the main tends of 2023 to identify where and how you should be recruiting runners in 2024 and 2025. This should give you a great mix of demographics, but also the tools you can use at your disposal to recruit them. The fundraising market has also got a lot more competitive, and you need to stand out amongst the noise. Marc will outline the essentials for keeping your runners engaged right up to race day and beyond. Finally Marc will look at the lifespan of a supporter, and how you can, just by taking a few easy steps, ensure your runners have a fantastic experience, and keep coming back for more!
