How does our way of working shape our interactions with others?
In this film the In-Situ team think out loud about experiences of working in more hierarchical contexts and local decision making settings, and how our way of working translates outside of the team.
 The world around us is changing rapidly. Devolution, local government reorganisation, neighbourhood health, financial pressures, division and changing communities are reshaping the environment our members work in every day.
To help frame this conversation, we've published a new blog exploring why strong local infrastructure matters more than ever, the challenges it is facing and its changing face. It sets out how we think local infrastructure will need to evolve to continue supporting communities and influencing effectively. We will share this more widely to influence stakeholders and funders on the vital role our network plays, and the investment which needs to follow. As part of this, we're reviewing NAVCA membership to make sure our network is fit for the future. We're looking at our membership criteria to ensure they reflect the changing nature of local infrastructure and how it is delivered, to reflect the world we are operating in. We want to shape this with our members.  Join us for TWO days of expert fundraising advice, top tips, Q&As, networking, peer-support, and lots of chat!
We are very excited to invite you to Get Grants FREE Virtual Conference 2026! Across 6th & 7th October 2026, Get Grants are leading a FREE Virtual Conference full of celebration, inspiration, and practical advice and support. Get Grants FREE Virtual Conference is a celebration of fundraisers, with a programme designed around the topics you want to talk about. Bringing together thousands of fundraisers from across the UK every year, this fun and heart-warming event with lots of practical advice is not your typical fundraising conference!  Bringing people together through communication, collaboration and connection. We’re excited to announce the return of the Smile Conference for 2026.
With this year's theme, Connection, we'll bring together people and organisations from across different sectors for a day of learning, collaboration and conversation. Join us on Friday 2 October 2026 at Burnley Football Club for this FREE event as we explore why connection matters and how we can build stronger communities together.  Lowerhouse Cricket Club is delighted to announce the opening of our brand new clubhouse extension, a fantastic addition to The Brooks Foundation Ground that will not only enhance the matchday experience but also provide a modern, welcoming space for local community groups, organisations and private events.
The extension, built on the footprint of the former patio area to the left of the steps, has transformed the clubhouse facilities and created a flexible space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. With stunning views across the cricket ground, the room features full-width bi-fold doors that open up to create a unique connection between inside and outside, bringing visitors closer to the action and providing one of the best views in the borough.  The UK is expected to introduce restrictions on social media access for under-16s next year. While much of the debate focuses on protecting children from online harms, we want to understand what the changes could mean for charities that support young people under 16.

"it feels intense at times, but also, it can feel absolutely elating, or joyful".In this film we talk about what it feels like to explore alternative, non-hierarchical ways of working. How does our 'fluid structure' enable us to share leadership? And what does this look like for individuals, across our many differences?
After great success from the previous SEND Roadshow.

Thu 16th July 2026 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM BST Online, Teams With temperatures set to rise and remain high over the coming weeks, and as we move into the school holidays, it is important to reinforce and reshare water safety messages. Previous periods of hot weather, alongside research from the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) and the NCMD, have shown a clear link between higher temperatures and an increased risk of drowning. More people may visit coastal areas, lakes and rivers, and use paddling pools which could increase the risk of water safety incidents. Please support the sharing of key water safety messages with your networks, partners and communities. Please find attached the communications brief circulated ahead of Drowning Prevention Week; the social media messages included can be used throughout the year, not only during campaign periods.
 In December 2025, the Government launched a new National Youth Strategy — the first one in 15 years. Called Youth Matters, it’s a 10‑year plan shaped with input from young people. The aim is to make sure young people’s voices are heard, improve opportunities and outcomes, and make youth services more consistent across the country. It sets a clear direction for how youth services should work, focusing on working with young people, strong local leadership, and building long‑term support in local areas.
