Are you a charity leader or CEO looking for practical support and peer mentoring in Oxfordshire or Reading? Running a charity or not-for-profit can be rewarding, but it can also feel isolating, overwhelming, and full of tough decisions. That’s why the gunnercooke foundation created inspire*.

A room with laid out facing inwards. 5 charity leaders are sat at them, discussing with one another, within the support programme.

What is inspire?* inspire* is a free programme designed specifically for ambitious charity leaders. Unlike standard networking groups, our programme focuses on peer mentoring, leadership guidance, and practical resources that help you grow your organisation and manage challenges more effectively. Our inspire* Hubs brings together small groups of 6–12 non-competing charity leaders/founders. These confidential meetings give you a space to:

3 people sitting around a table, one of them speaking about a current issue.

  • Share challenges and brainstorm solutions with peers

  • Swap ideas and leadership strategies in a supportive environment

  • Access one-to-one mentoring from experienced business leaders

  • Attend expert talks and workshops tailored to charity leadership

Being part of inspire* also gives you:

A big room, with 10 people sat around desks facing inwards, with a projection of the end of a presentation, with "thank you" written on the board. This is a hub meeting.
  • Toolkits and best-practice resources to strengthen your organisation

  • Strategic guidance customised to your charity’s needs

  • Opportunities to explore social enterprise through our Business For Good programme

  • Access to additional support at discounted rates


Funded by the gunnercooke foundation, inspire* exists to help charities in the area, and beyond “Do Good, Faster”. All we ask is your time, commitment, and ambition.

If you’re leading a charity or not-for-profit and want to join a community of peers who understand the highs and lows of leadership, our Hubs are designed for you.
