2025 in Review: Lessons, Trends & What’s Next for the Charity Sector

As 2025 came to a close, it was time to take stock. What worked? What didn’t? And what key trends will shape charity marketing and fundraising in the year ahead?

On Wednesday 26 November 2025, we partnered with JAA Media to hold a special end-of-year event. Joined by speakers from RSPCA, Amnesty International and Prostate Cancer UK, we discussed the biggest lessons, surprises, and takeaways from the past 12 months. Through quick-fire lightning talks, we explores standout campaigns, shifts in audience behaviour, and emerging trends that could define 2026.
