CAF Charity Workshops – showing you how to increase your charity’s income

13 August 2008

Panikos EfthimiouAs charities face the credit crunch, increased competition for funding and wavering donor loyalties, CAF Charity Workshops help charities reach more donors in new ways and advise how best to manage charity money.

The Autumn/Spring 2008/09 series of workshops begin on 14 October led by Panikos Efthimiou. An experienced fundraiser, trustee and former actor, Panikos has 28 years' experience of working and volunteering with charitable organisations and ten years' experience as a charity trainer.

CAF’s range of interactive training gives simple, practical and achievable advice. Focusing on learning while having fun and connecting with other fundraisers, CAF’s training explains how to understand and maximise tax efficient donations, make corporates beneficial friends, influence donor loyalty and effectively promote charities in new and exciting ways.

Each session is unique as Panikos finds out what will benefit each organisation the most and creates an exclusive plan. Panikos is also contactable after training to advise and encourage.

Sarkia Shah, Executive Director, Theodora Children’s Trust  commented on the workshop she attended saying: ”Thank you so much for a fantastic regular giving workshop this morning. I felt really inspired and full of great ideas - I think it was the only course I've been on where I haven't looked at the clock!"
