Jen Richardson, Audit & Charities Director at Ward Goodman commented: “This conference is special to the local charities community as it offers a day of variety, including listening to eminent speakers, learning from others and networking with specialist suppliers. It’s a day organised for members of charities and community organisations to share ideas, experiences and identify opportunities to work together.”

Now established as the leading charity event in Dorset, the event offers charities a great opportunity to network and discuss key issues for the sector.
