Networking and Knowledge Event - Charity

Join us to discuss and debate upcoming challenges facing charities and potential solutions with our panel of speakers and other like-minded individuals from the education and charity sectors.

Our confirmed speakers for the event are:

• Katie Potter – Leap Confronting Conflict
  https://www.leapconfrontingconflict.org.uk/

Leap is an award-winning national youth charity that provides inspirational conflict management training and support to young people and the professionals working with them. Leap supports young people aged between 11 and 25 to make changes in their lives by gaining a greater understanding of themselves and their relationship with conflict. To have the greatest impact they also design training sessions and larger programmes for those who work with young people like local council workers, youth workers, prison officers and other voluntary sector workers, as they are best placed to offer support when conflict arises.

• Gabby Edlin – Bloody Good Period
  https://www.bloodygoodperiod.com/#intro

Bloody Good Period was started by Gabby Edlin who decided something needed to be done about the fact that very few food banks and asylum seeker drop-in centres were providing feminine hygiene products on a regular basis - despite a desperate need. What started as a whip-round on Facebook is now a growing enterprise with a vision to end period poverty.

• Ben Sadler – Alive and Kicking
