Fundraising Camp, UK Fundraising’s series of one-day unstructured conferences for
fundraisers, this month comes to Scotland for the first time. It takes place at 
Volunteering Scotland in Stirling on 29 September.

This is the seventh event in the series, following Fundraising Camps held at Oxford,
Leeds, Canterbury, Chichester, London and Peterborough.

The event is designed to offer an alternative and even enjoyable learning event 
for fundraisers. Unlike traditional conferences, there are no planned speakers and
no set topics. The delegates themselves choose what issues they wish to talk and
learn about on the day. This is all collated at the beginning of the event, and 
a timetable created.

## Inspiring discussions, unexpected conversations

Usually there are so many topics and issues suggested that the event has up to three
sessions running at any one time.

Needless to say, fundraisers from very different organisations find they share similar
concerns and challenges, so the sessions turn into valuable self-help exercises.

This style of event is new to most fundraisers, and is inspired by the ‘unconference’
and ‘barcamp’ model of informal but practical events.

Here is Fundraising Camp Oxford, which we ran just under a year ago:

 

Each Fundraising Camp is different of course, because they depend on who turns up.
So some people have come to more than one to continue learning in this different
atmosphere.

To help ensure that it is not just fundraisers asking questions, UK Fundraising 
always invites a small circle of experienced ‘guest experts’ from within and outside
the sector to ensure there is a wide range of expertise on hand.
