A facilitator speaking with a small professional group in a bright room

Half day

Trustee workshop on reading fundraising figures

A half-day session for up to twelve trustees and senior staff, using the charity’s own last quarter — not a generic classroom pack — so new board members can follow Gift Aid, restricted balances, and lapsed giving.

£1,400 · Half day (three hours teaching plus a break), plus a fortnight of preparation

  • Workbook for twelve
  • Follow-up one-pager

Not included

  • Trustee recruitment
  • Charity Commission filings

How the work proceeds

  1. Collect last quarter’s papers.
