Every fundraising organisation has to look outside at the market and its competitors to stay cutting edge, which is why we invented our unique Forums programme.
THINK Forums are an annual subscription programme of facilitated events that offer regular meetings, benchmarking, problem solving and networking opportunities for charity mangers. They enable members to learn from each other, participate in creative processes and solve challenges, and include access to exclusive research and specialists within the THINK team, as well as expert guest speakers.

"The Supporter Services Forum is a fantastic community to be part of. It's a great network of like-minded people. It's great to be able to share challenges and gain insight and advice. Over the past year it's never been more important to be connected to this forum to gain peer support during such extraordinary times."
"At a busy and challenging time THINK provided us with proposal writing support. They took the time to understand the brief and provided an interim who seamlessly joined the team and provided what we needed. A great service and one we would call on again."
"THINK was instrumental in supporting Aberlour to develop a road map towards the digital transformation of our fundraising operation. Human in their approach, they also brought specific expertise and up-to-the-minute insight to help us build a practical delivery plan. I highly recommend working with them."
"Every aspect of working with THINK was smooth and delivered to an extremely high standard. We particularly appreciated the transparency around the costs of the research and the demonstration of what we could expect for different levels of investment. The team are very happy with the outputs and the quality of the thinking and knowledge which was demonstrated by the researcher was outstanding."
