Earlier this month BCF, alongside Trustee Lady Stevenson, were delighted to welcome attendees from over 60 Berkshire community groups to our annual Charity Symposium.

Delegates listened to valuable presentations on fundraising and looking after supporters as well as useful legal advice from Blandy and Blandy. The free event gave local groups the chance to network and speak with others in the voluntary sector.

Localgiving kindly donated free yearly subscriptions to the following lucky winners:

• Claire McEnoy – WhitleyCDA
• David Seward – Berkshire Youth
• Elizabeth Burton-Philips – DrugFAM
• Gwynneth Hewetson –The Cultural Partnership: More Arts
• Catherine McLeod – Dingley’s Promise

Here is a gallery of photographs from the event.

Thank you for a conference that ticked ALL my boxes. It was especially good to learn about the new legislation regarding organisations. Hopefully there will be many more useful symposiums. Symposium Delegate
