The Human Touch: Authentic Leadership for Fundraising Success in 2026

It’s no secret that the world feels a lot right now — climate change, war, AI, racial division – including across the UK charity sector, and within our own communities.  Many fundraising leaders are feeling the pressure: asked to raise more, deliver more, and stay motivated — often with fewer resources and growing burnout in their teams.

So how can we lead differently in 2026?
How do we stay human, connected, and energised when the pace of change is relentless?

Join Louise Morris (Major Donor Specialist) and Biba Binotti (CEO and Founder of Global Warriors) for a powerful, thought-provoking Summit Power Hour exploring what human centric and heartfelt leadership really looks like today.

🗓 Tuesday 27 January 2026
🕛 12:00–13:00 BST
📍 Online event

Biba has worked with thousands of corporate leaders around the world, helping them lead with courage, compassion, and authenticity. Now, she brings those insights to the charity sector in this uplifting and practical conversation. You’ll leave with:
