The Chartered Institute of FundraisingFor us, the conference was the perfect opportunity to connect with organisations of all sizes and demonstrate how branded solutions can make a real difference to fundraising campaigns. From small community groups to larger charities, we shared insights into how impactful branded merchandise can be, whether through world class campaign clothing, uniforms, event t-shirts, sustainable print solutions, or creative corporate and promotional giveaways. It was a fantastic reminder that fundraising is not just about raising money, but also about firstly making a difference in so many people's lives, building positive awareness, creating engagement, celebrating individual personal commitment and inspiring supporters through memorable experiences.

Presentations Live From The ConferenceSustainability and ESG commitments remained a big focus for Wild Thang throughout the event, and it was a real highlight to discuss our journey becoming one of the most certified companies in our sector across the UK, including sharing our most recent milestone of becoming B Corp certified. We were able to showcase how branded solutions can be delivered with Lower- Eco impact products and services, proving that creativity, quality, and responsibility can go hand in hand. Our conversations emphasised that fundraising with purpose isn’t just a trend, but a vital part of building trust and long-term impact in the sector. These commitments are embedded within The Wild Thang Way, and they guide everything from our sustainable supply chain to our award-winning creative solutions.
