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. Moving away from theoretical models, the session combined interactive discussions, peer-to-peer networking, a guest presentation from Leela Shanti (Raising Futures Kenya), an action-learning mastermind breakout, and a physical stress-release exercise.
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.

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.
