UK Community Foundations is delighted to welcome you to their 2019 Conference. It's great that the Conference will be convened in Glasgow - a fine and historic city but one with its own considerable poverty and social challenges. What better place to reflect on the vital work of Community Foundations around the UK?Â
   And, as the concept of place-based funding is receiving so much attention across our sector, what better time to review the challenges and opportunities we face as a network.Â
   This year's conference will have something for everyone in terms both of information and inspiration. We are lucky to have distinguished speakers and workshop leaders from around the international Community Foundation family. Please use these three days to be bold and creative, engaging with colleagues from the network and beyond to design your role as community leaders.Â
   At a time when the political establishment is crumbling and local services are seeing declining funding, the role of Community Foundations is more important that it has ever been. This conference offers everyone the opportunity to guide and steer how they respond to this new environment.Â
   On a final note, please don't forget to enjoy Scotland's legendary hospitality and warmth. Have fun, make new friends and celebrate all the things that make Community Foundations so special.Â
Some of the speakers include:Â
- Alice Beveridge, Training Director and Speaker, Tree of Knowledge
 - Deborah Ellwood, CEO/President, CF Leads
 - Fabian French, CEO, UK Community Foundations
