Midlands Member Meeting - 6 June 2019

Join us in the 'Shire' that is Lincolnshire for a Members day focussed around all things Individual Giving from appeals to Legacy Campaigning to In Memory.

St Barnabas are hosting this meeting at their Day Centre in Lincoln, hence the slightly later start so people can make the journey in good time but we are very excited to see you all there.

10.00 am Arrival (Tea, Coffee and biscuits)

10.30 am Introduction and updates from NAHF – Veronica McBain, Chair for Midlands

10.45 am Presentation from Jenny Peake & Sam Waterer, St Barnabas Hospice

Remember your community when you Forget Me Not – Jenny & Sam will share with you their quirky twist on the Hospice classic – Forget Me Not Appeal.

12.00 pm Word from our Platinum Sponsor - Donorflex, Mark Higgitt

The Unified database

The new GDPR-driven era of Consent & Preferences has caused a steadily growing number of charities to embrace the reality that unifying their data in one place is essential. However, it's an approach that the donorflex team has advocated for more than a decade. The principle is simple: If you can manage all aspects of your supporter care in one place -- 'one truth', as the current phrase describes it -- why wouldn't you?

12.45 pm Networking lunch

1.30 pm Open Discussion – How are you keeping your Legacy and In Mem giving alive?

A session to discuss what ideas are working within your Hospices; sharing of best practice and resources. Please bring any examples of materials to share. We can also look forward what you are doing for LUAL 2019.

2.30 pm Open Forum – Q&A

Please send through any items/questions you’d like to include as part of the discussions for this session ahead of the meeting so we can have some insight prior.

3.30pm Finish

Remember to bring a handful of any examples of marketing literature to share. If you have any excess merchandise you would like sell on or swop, please email veronica.mcbain@stbarnabashospice.co.uk with details so it can be circulated ahead of the meeting for interest.

We have a vacancy for a Midlands Regional Rep – any interested parties please contact Veronica on the email above.
