Our annual two-day Leadership Summit provides leaders in our sector with the time and space needed to reflect on the past year and strategise for times ahead, presenting the opportunity to learn from expert speakers as well as one another.
The theme this year is building on hope. With so much recent change in areas of work, politics and technology, comes opportunity, but how can leaders in our sector capitalise on this to make their ideas and aspirations a reality?
The Summit includes keynote speakers, a choice of breakout sessions, and plenty of time for sharing of knowledge and experience, as well as a networking dinner to round off the first day.
Speakers include:
- Kwajo Twenebo - Author and social issues campaigner
- Emma Haddad - CEO, St Mungos
- Jon Kuhrt - CEO, Hope into Action
- René Carayol - Leadership coach and speaker
- Duncan Shrubsole - CEO, St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity
- Ellie McNeil - CEO, YMCA together
- Tania Duarte - Founder of We and I
- Andy Bell, CEO, HelpFirst
- Jo Walby, CEO, Mustard Tree
- Dan Northover - CEO, Handcrafted
- Ben Richardson - Organisation consultant, previously CEO of Caring in Bristol
- Jaishree Mistry - Senior Relationship Manager, Triodos Bank

Loved the time to get away and reflect, as well as learn loads. I'm looking forward to bringing more of my team next year!
There was a really inclusive and vibrant atmosphere at the event!
Really well organised; very relaxed but still very work focused. I thoroughly enjoyed it and, because it was so beneficial, I felt less guilty about taking the time out of the workplace!
Valuable quality time away from the office, personal space to reflect, learn and be inspired by others with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the sector. Thank you, I will be back next year!
