CFDG Educating
Learning is at the centre of everything. In addition to the topical free members’ meetings CFDG provides a full events programme throughout the year at a low cost to members.
Thanks to corporate support we can keep prices for charity members as low as possible, while providing high quality content and speakers, in both educational events and publications.
The Training Programme is constantly developed further - we are specifically interested in members who are interested in speaking at events to share their knowledge and expertise, and to raise their profile in the sector. Please contact the Events Team events@cfdg.org.uk if you are interested in speaking.
