How sales fundraising can positively impact your business, people and planet.
17th November (12:30-13:00 GMT UK time)
Ever felt like you want to support a charity that aligns with your business values, your customers or perhaps your colleagues hearts but don’t have the time to do it?
We know business founders, owners, leaders and employees are constantly playing a game of prioritisation and there’s not always time to run a bake sale, train for a half marathon or wait for profits to materialise. However, that doesn’t mean your fundraising has to come to a halt. By supporting a charity through your product or service sales, your business can raise funds and awareness for the causes you care about most, whilst focusing on your day to day business objectives.
Join Veronica Bamford-Deane, Managing Director of Work for Good – www.workforgood.co.uk – to learn how sales fundraising can positively impact your business, our people and our planet.
Eligibility: Any SMEs in the UK, up to 250 staff in any industry sector.

‘Dos and Don’ts of Award Writing’
24th November (15:00 GMT UK time)
After eight years of running the Global Good Awards, I am going to draw on my experience of questions, challenges, comments from judges and all the other factors that contribute to a successful or unsuccessful application and deliver an educational webinar on the ‘Dos and Don’ts of Award Writing’.
I am hoping to have one classic example, whereby an entrant who won 4 awards last year, didn’t shortlist for either of their two entered categories this year. I’ll reveal why and, with the permission of this entrant, I’ll be using some of their information as a real live example.
To book in for any of these sessions, please first email Karen Sutton
