Despite some technical challenges, yesterday’s Wood for Trees webinar, ‘State of the Sector 2022: charities and not-for-profits' shed light on some key trends in the sector and ways we have developed to address them. The report by Wood for Trees can be requested for download.

In the panel discussion, our co-founder James Briggs highlighted the way that the pandemic has brought us together to work more collaboratively – but that some fundamental and worrying trends continue. The focus now is how do we maintain this momentum and ‘bend the curve’ back up?

We would like to thank you all for joining and Wood for Trees having us at this panel.

We are excited for our co-founder James Briggs to be speaking at Wood for Trees live webinar on the 23rd of March at 11am GMT.
