Fundraising is often siloed by sector. Schools, universities and charities each have their own traditions, challenges and approaches, and it’s easy to remain focussed on your ecosystem – but what happens when we break down those walls and learn from one another? In our recent webinar, we brought together leaders from all three sectors to explore this question.

A highlight of 2025 for Cairney & Company was exhibiting at the CASE Europe Annual Conference (CEAC). Here, we share highlights from Senior Partner Kurstin Finch Gnehm’s session with Sophie Thorp and Juan Pablo Garrido on making the case for internal investment in a small shop, and wider reflections from CEAC.

With the UK Budget announced this week, we share our reflections on a policy shift with significant implications for higher education and national competitiveness.
