Recent months have shown just how valuable our CFG community is for sharing expertise and tackling challenges together. We're seeing charity finance professionals turn to their peers and our specialist services for guidance on everything from banking changes to payroll implementations.
Current hot topics
Our discussion forums and special interest groups have been buzzing with activity around some particularly timely issues. Members have been actively discussing changes to their banking services, and there's also been significant interest in the processes involved in changing a charity's name – a complex area where peer insights have proven invaluable. Additionally, theatre tax relief has sparked detailed conversations, as has the use of AI.
Meanwhile, our membership inbox has seen enquiries about the Windsor Agreement, with members seeking clarity on its implications for their organisations. Members have also asked about payroll system implementation.
Your support network
These trending topics highlight exactly why CFG's peer support network is so valuable. When challenges arise, you don't have to face them alone.
Our special interest groups offer the perfect platform for these conversations. Whether you're looking for advice on a specific technical issue, need templates for a tender process, want feedback on a supplier, or simply want to share a recent challenge to explore how others have overcome it, our forums connect you with fellow charity finance professionals who understand your world.
Expert help when you need it
If your organisation is struggling with financial challenges or simply needs some expert guidance, you can make use of our seven specialist helplines. Run by trusted corporate partners, these helplines provide professional and confidential advice, on specific areas including accounting, risk, tax, governance and more, giving you access to expert knowledge when you need it most.
Your CFG membership connects you to a community that understands your challenges because they face them too. Whether through forums, SIGs, or helplines, support is always available when you need it.
