Get ready to recruit:
How to prepare your charity for growth
On the 11th October 2024, we hosted a webinar for rare disease patient group leaders who are considering recruiting in the future.
If you’re looking to grow and professionalise your rare disease organisation, then taking on paid staff might be your next move.
Bringing on paid staff can be a game-changer for your charity, allowing you to manage and organise your resources more effectively, expand your reach, take on more ambitious projects and better serve your community.
We recognise that the process of preparing to recruit can be daunting. It’s why this webinar is designed to demystify the recruitment process, so you can lay the essential groundwork required to begin growing your charity.

Investing in staff is about more than just getting help – it’s about strategically positioning your organisation to achieve greater impact and sustainability in your advocacy work.

Watch the webinar below and don’t forget to let us know what you thought in the feedback form at the end!
