Feedback from our last Positive Change event in September:

"Positive Change events are definitely a great idea. I regret not knowing about the first event."

"The Event fulfilled its promise! It was a very good introduction and gave lots of ideas to build on. The speakers were engaging and had real enthusiasm for their subject (not to mention the many humorous moments!). The presentations were punchy and informative. Although I did not speak to any of the speakers, they seemed very happy to chat to attendees and one got a sense that this was not a PR event, but that it was really aimed at informing and helping attendees get more information and chose a career. All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and I have recommended Positive Change events to a friend."

"I absolutely loved the passion and dedication of the speakers, especially when sharing their own perspectives and personal experiences. I was especially impressed by the fact that it gave me so much useful information about what charities are looking for despite my fears that it would be too specifically geared towards fundraising and marketing - which I am not that interested in. Yet I found it incredibly useful as an overview of the sector and a brilliant introduction."

"Fantastic speakers who really went into depth about the charity sector rather than just firing off the same buzz words that everyone has heard before!"
