Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the people who keep the charity sector strong, sustainable, and impactful — our dedicated finance professionals.
The Annual Dinner & Awards brings together leaders and rising stars from across the charity finance community for a night of recognition, connection, and inspiration.
This special event shines a spotlight on the vital work finance teams do behind the scenes — safeguarding resources, driving accountability, enabling innovation, and ensuring charities can deliver on their missions with confidence.
More than just a celebration, the evening is an opportunity to connect with peers, build new relationships, and recognise the exceptional talent, resilience, and leadership within our sector. From outstanding individuals to high-performing teams, we honour those whose expertise and commitment strengthen the entire charity landscape.
Expect an elegant setting, excellent company, and a programme that reflects the professionalism, passion, and purpose that defines charity finance.
Celebrate excellence. Champion impact. Recognise the difference finance makes.
