‘One of the best school conferences I have attended.’

‘Really positive, informative and useful and great to talk with others about their experiences and systems’

HMC and IDPE 2018 School Bursaries Conference delegates

Why attend?

HMC, IDPE and AGBIS are working together to deliver a one-day conference on Wednesday 29 January 2020 at BMA House, London, which will explore how school leaders can put transformational bursaries and partnerships at the heart of their school’s strategy to deliver transformational experiences.

With more schools delivering transformational bursary programmes, this conference will deliver on sharing best practices and feature sessions on fundraising, marketing, recruitment and measuring success. Learn from the UK’s most experienced professionals, and have the chance to get involved in discussions on how to implement change.

Throughout the day you will hear from other school leaders who have ‘been there and learned from it’. We invite you and your senior leadership team to join us to learn more about how successful bursary programmes and partnerships can help future proof your school.

‘When heads spend 5–10% of their time on fundraising the average gift more than triples.’
IDPE and Graham-Pelton’s Schools’ Fundraising and Engagement Benchmarking Report 2018
