Terms & Conditions

Refunds for all our individual events are available if notice is given three business days prior by email or telephone, or one month prior to first session of our programmes. After this, a transfer to another event will be given. Cancellations on the same business day will not generally be eligible for a refund or transfer, however you may substitute someone to come in your place. In the case of exceptional circumstances let us know and we will consider a refund/transfer.

Connect with other charity trustees on charity boards of all types, and those with relevant experience actively targeting these positions.

Our Circles of support are an additional service launching for 2025. They are a ‘go-to’ community of support for members with experience in each sector to build closer connections. Each group involves a WhatsApp Community and six events, mixed between virtual and in-person.

Charities make a huge contribution to UK society and transform lives and our environment daily. This Circle brings together those serving as charity trustees, on registered charities of all sizes and types. Spanning the range of the highly-diverse charity sector, this group will offer peer-learning, innovation and experience sharing and a chance to cross-reference approaches and best practice in this space. Events will also be open to London Women’s Forum members with experience in charity governance.

Open to our Full and Directors’ Circle members, whether they are currently serving on a Charity Sector board or aspiring to one, this group aims to encourage all to excel in this space.
