Organisational Resilience Programme

2026



In these sessions, we explore how to build financial resilience with our 3 financial resilience principles:


  1. Developing diversification by getting fundraising-ready — with a simple, practical approach, delivered by our friends at Nova Fundraising and then monitoring diversification with our budget — using full cost recovery principles to help create a more sustainable and resilient business model.
  2. Working intentionally with our cashflow forecast — making sure not only that enough money is coming in, but that it arrives at the right time to pay bills and keep your bank balance healthy.
  3. Building protection with our reserves policy, light-touch risk management, and an awareness of key red flags.
