About this Event
LoveBrum's Causes conference is back for 2025 to inform and empower charities across Birmingham to take their mission to the next level. Whether that be understanding the latest legal considerations you need to take or top tips to supercharge your marketing and comms strategy.
With LoveBrumโs service patrons and corporate members being some of the most recognised and influential in Birmingham, we thought it would be a great idea to put all of their knowledge into a one-stop event to create a tangible impact to local causes.
This initiative will show that communication with LoveBrum doesnโt end once the funding has been received. Itโs all about showing how LoveBrum goes beyond just handing over the money and actually supports charities expand and grow.
During the event we will host 20-minute bitesize sessions covering the latest updates to fundraising, legal considerations to take as a charity, governance, finance, social media, website, marketing and much more. There will also be opportunity to network over coffee and lunch with other causes doing incredible work across Birmingham. Together, by coming together we can raise awareness about some of the most vulnerable individuals across our communities and work to establish connections to benefit those who need it most.
NB - The nearest parking for this event is located on Holt Street, just a 5 minute work from the event. Aston University is a short 10 minute walk from all central train stations.
