Income Generation Leaders Conference

Calling hospice fundraising leaders and aspiring leaders! 

Our Income Generation Leaders Conference 2026 took place on Thursday 2 July 2026 at Conference Aston in Birmingham, bringing together senior leaders from across the hospice sector. 

This event was a day of connection, insight and practical learning designed to help you navigate your role as hospice and income generation leaders.

Our next Conference will take place on Thursday 1 July 2027 at thestudio in Manchester. Booking will open in April 2027. 

This year’s programme featured real-life case studies, strategic thinking and practical advice, with sessions that invite hospice income generation leaders and aspiring leaders from across the sector to:

• hear directly from leading grant funders as they share what matters most to them, how their thinking is evolving, and how approaches to funding are changing
• find out more about how small changes in language, timing and design- informed by behavioural science- can unlock generosity
• spend time unpacking what professional grief can look like for those of us who aren’t on the clinical frontline but are still closely connected to the realities of hospice care
• explore the interaction between Hospice UK's political campaign messaging, and local hospice fundraising
• reflect on what it really takes to set up a successful, sustainable and meaningful collaboration in leadership.
