Community Designed Education

Collaboration, co-design, and community led decision making is the ethos of what we do at the Fundraising Nest. How can we do this in a way that is open, honest, and transparent?

We ask YOU what you need and WANT to learn about, and we make it happen!

Our Two day Nest Fest will bring good energy and a zest for learning while ensuring dull moments are few and far between. So be prepared to take part in a few (gentle but fun) icebreaker games that will keep our sense of community alive before we get into the learning!

Our speakers have extensive practical knowledge, skills, and experience bringing a training day that will be productive, helpful, and more importantly one that you genuinely enjoy.

Funding your future – Building a Nest Egg for you

We are committed to the development of fundraisers, and we show our commitment to your professional development opportunities with our Donation Nest Egg Scheme.
