Ken Burnett, SOFII Trustee has said: “SOFII is thrilled to be able to welcome fundraisers back to IWITOT for one last event in 2020. It has been a tough year for the sector, and we could not be happier that this edition champions the charities that are giving their donors a great supporter experience. “Over the years IWITOT has come to mean fast-paced, sparkly, concise creative lessons from fresh speakers. It means an afternoon of electric, contagious passion, plus tons of learning for fundraisers from great causes large and small. And best of all, if you attend, you’re sure to pick up an idea or two that could help raise more funds for your own organisation.” Isla Munro, Managing Director of The Dragonfly Agency said: “We’ve loved attending amazing SOFII events over the years, so to be able to sponsor this special supporter experience IWITOT is a real honour and privilege! Everyone in the charity sector is doing a superb job to adapt and keep spirits high during these crazy times we find ourselves in, and SOFII is no exception to this. We know this IWITOT event will be well received and bursting with energy and ideas – roll on 9 December.”
