This roundtable discussion will be chaired by Senior Advisor at The Fore, Sally Hotchkin, with four key panellists:
• Jade Brudenell: Executive Director at The Conservation Collective, experienced fundraiser and marketer for environmental investment sector.
• Catherine Smith: Chief Executive Officer at Community TechAid, a charity closing the digital divide by providing technology and skills to our communities, whilst recycling, reusing and repairing e-waste.

Our panellists will share their insights on their experience of collaboration between the charity and private sectors to tackle environmental problems, as well as the opportunities and challenges faced in these collaborations. They will also discuss how corporate employees can support charities beyond funding. To encourage open and host conversation, this peer session will operate under Chatham House rules.

The Fore

The Fore is creating a society that solves its own problems.

Innovative solutions to the UK’s greatest challenges rarely reach the mainstream because 92% of funding goes to the largest 8% of charities.

The Fore is the only venture philanthropy fund in the UK dedicated to backing the best small charities and social enterprises. Our goal is for exceptional solutions to get from grassroots to nationwide impact in five years.
