Why we ran this session

UK giving is under real pressure. The Charities Aid Foundation’s UK Giving Report 2026 put total UK donations at £14bn in 2025, the first fall since 2021, with the sector down six million habitual donors over the past decade and the average donation dropping from £72 to £65.

Paid acquisition is getting more expensive at exactly the moment budgets are tightest, which is why DIY and supporter-led fundraising matters more than it did five years ago. It runs all year, it rides on word of mouth rather than ad spend, and the supporters who do it are already motivated. The hard part has never been demand. It is the admin that comes with it.

Who you will hear from

The session is hosted by Jess Clohisey, Account Manager at GivePanel, and Mike Morris, Head of Marketing, with a fireside chat bringing in community fundraising teams who have already rebuilt how they run DIY:

• Abbey Harnwell, King’s College Hospital Charity
• Vicki Dutton and Caitlin Lloyd, PAPYRUS
• Emma Christmas, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation

They talk openly about what was not working, what they changed, and what it has meant for their teams week to week.

What the session covers

• What DIY fundraising is, and what it is not. Supporter-led, always-on and organic, as opposed to a branded event with a date and a budget behind it.
• The three roadblocks that hold community teams back: supporters bouncing to a third-party site to build their page and never finishing, fundraisers setting up pages you never find out about, and the hours lost to CSV downloads and manual thank-yous.
• How GivePanel DIY handles each of them, including embedded registration forms, one-step registration across JustGiving, Facebook and GoFundMe, Smart Match for organic fundraisers, automated email journeys and campaign dashboards.
• Live examples from charities running this today.

Who it is for

Community and supporter-led fundraising teams, and anyone responsible for a DIY programme that has grown faster than the processes behind it. Useful whether you are setting up DIY properly for the first time or looking at replacing a stack that no longer fits.
