Learn how to save time, improve consistency and use AI responsibly in your charity role.

Build confidence using AI in a safe, practical and relevant way with this six-part short course designed specifically for charity professionals.

This interactive online series is tailored for those who have explored tools like ChatGPT or Copilot but are unsure how to use them effectively in their day-to-day work. Across six weekly 30-minute sessions, participants will move from uncertainty to confident, responsible use of AI.

The course focuses on real, low-risk applications across fundraising, communications and operations — helping you save time, improve consistency and enhance output without compromising trust, tone or data integrity.

Each session combines live teaching, demonstration and practical implementation tasks, ensuring you can immediately apply what you learn. By the end of the programme, you will have developed your own AI playbook, a library of reusable prompts, and a clear 90-day action plan tailored to your role.

No prior experience is required — just a willingness to learn and experiment in a supportive environment.

Learning Outcomes:

• A personal AI playbook tailored to your role.
• A reusable prompt library.
• One redesigned workflow using AI.
• Practical AI guidelines for your role.
• A 90-day AI action plan.
