Great fundraising doesn't have to start with a huge budget or a big event. Often, the simplest ideas create the biggest impact.
In this inspiring and practical talk, Becky shares real-life examples of how schools, community groups, volunteers and local supporters have turned small ideas into meaningful fundraising campaigns that have made a real difference to local families.
Drawing on her experience as a Community Fundraiser at Gingerbread Family Support, Becky explores how to build genuine relationships, engage your community, and create fundraising opportunities that people genuinely want to be part of.
Whether you're a charity, community group, school, volunteer or simply someone looking to make a difference, you'll leave with practical ideas, fresh inspiration and the confidence to turn your own small idea into something extraordinary.

I'm Becky Painter, Community Fundraiser at Gingerbread Family Support, a charity supporting families facing homelessness or at risk of homelessness across Stoke-on-Trent.
My role is all about bringing communities together. I work with schools, community groups, volunteers and local supporters to create fundraising opportunities that not only raise vital funds but also build lasting connections and inspire people to make a difference.
Having entered the fundraising sector in 2025, I've learned that successful fundraising isn't about having the biggest budget, it's about building relationships, being creative and helping people believe they can make an impact. From delivering school assemblies and community presentations to supporting challenge event fundraisers and developing family fundraising campaigns, I love sharing practical ideas that others can take away and use. My talks are honest, engaging and full of real-life experiences, covering community fundraising, supporter engagement, building local partnerships, and how small ideas can grow into something that changes lives. I believe everyone has the ability to make a difference, and I'm passionate about helping people discover how their time, skills or fundraising can strengthen their local community.
