Embrace Finance Academy 

Small Charity Finance Leadership Programme


In a world of increasing uncertainty, financial resilience is no longer optional — it's essential.

This short, focused programme is designed specifically for leaders of small charities who want to strengthen their organisation's long-term financial health.


Grounded in Cranfield School of Management’s definition of organisational resilience — the ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond and adapt to incremental change and sudden disruption — this programme will help you understand what financial resilience means in practice and how to achieve it.


We begin with a pre-recorded session introducing key principles and core concepts, followed by four live, online workshops that will guide you through:


  1. Anticipating the financial future
  2. Preparing for financial uncertainties
  3. Adapting the business model
  4. Responding with metrics and a simple plan


Through practical tools, peer learning, and specialist small charity focused input, you'll come away with the principles and practical tools to navigate financial uncertainty and build a more resilient future for your charity.
