Using AI Responsibly: Ethical Strategies for Charities – Online Charity Meetup

Tue 30 Sep, 10:00 AM – 11.30 AM

Online

 

WHAT’S IN STORE AT THIS VIRTUAL CHARITY MEETUP?

AI technology is rapidly advancing, but alongside its growing popularity comes important questions about ethical use.

Now more than ever, charities are expected to achieve greater results with fewer resources. While AI offers a promising path to greater efficiency, organisations rooted in social good can face challenges in navigating uncertainty around new technologies.

In this online Charity Meetup, Caroline Broadway (Director, Dandelion Applied AI) will give practical advice for charities looking to adopt AI, or increase its use, with ethics and a structured approach in mind.

Her talk will include:

  • Safe and ethical exploration and use, built around five key pillars which can be embedded into policies and training
  • Supporting people through change to champion organisation-wide adoption
  • AI tools to help busy teams reclaim precious time

The event will end with a Q&A session.

 

WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR?

Please join us if you are from a charity (or similar NFP organisation) or you’re a volunteer, freelancer, consultant or agency supporting the sector and you:

  • Are curious about AI and want to discover how it could benefit your work
  • Have experimented with AI and are eager to expand your knowledge to boost efficiency
  • Manage a team and are interested in integrating AI into your strategy
  • Have been asked to use AI, but you have questions or concerns

This online meetup focused on team leadership behaviours, psychological safety, and practical, low-cost strategies to support staff wellbeing and combat burnout within small charities.

Key themes centred on identifying structural barriers to returning to in-person sector events, defining actionable workplace behaviours that build “kindness” and “trust,” and outlining organisational policies that improve talent retention under intense funding pressures.

Transforming resilience starts with creating thinking spaces – Guest Blog by Emily Petty

Are you setting your team up to fail in meetings? When we prioritise quick action over clear thinking, we often foster distraction and confusion, eroding organisational resilience. Real growth happens when we create “thinking spaces”—environments where individuals are given the undivided attention they need to think for themselves.

Discover how to transform your team’s meetings with four actionable practices: starting with check-ins, framing agendas as questions, speaking in structured rounds, and closing with appreciation. Learn how shifting your focus from “providing answers” to “holding space” can lead to deeper, more effective collaboration.
