This isn’t another work event.
You know the ones.
You arrive straight from work. You make polite conversation with someone while holding a name badge and a lukewarm drink. Someone says “so, what do you do?” for the seventh time.
This isn’t that.
What’s the Chari-tea? LIVE is an evening for people who work in and around the charity sector to come together, have the conversations we actually want to have, meet some lovely charity people and leave feeling a little lighter than when we arrived.
Think less networking event. More you’ve actually gone out for the evening.
So, what are we doing?
❤️ A live What’s the Chari-tea? podcast
I’ll be joined by Mabinty Esho and Eddie Hartley from the DE&I team at Comic Relief for an honest, funny conversation about careers, culture and what it’s really like working in the charity sector.
And this isn’t a sit-there-and-listen panel. You’ll be part of the conversation too.
❤️ A chance to properly switch off
We’ll have a gorgeous somatic wellbeing session with Tatiana Ostara, Somatic Therapist and Associate Director at Charity People, designed to help you come down from work mode and actually enjoy your evening.
❤️ Delicious food + drinks
Beautifully prepared nibbles and a range of hot and cold, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
❤️ Very WTC interactive bits
Expect opinions. Voting. Red flags. Green flags. Probably some strong feelings.
I’m keeping a few things under wraps for now 👀
❤️ Really lovely people
Just 30 of us, in a room full of people who understand the strange, brilliant, frustrating, meaningful world of charity work.
❤️ A few surprises to take home
Because you deserve a few treats.
Come on your own. Seriously.
You absolutely do not need to bring someone with you.
In fact, if you’re currently hovering over the ticket button thinking:
“This sounds lovely but I don’t know anyone…”
Come anyway.
This whole evening is being designed to make it easy to walk through the door on your own and feel like you belong there.
We’ll take care of the awkward bit.
