Join us for an inspiring evening of celebration and fundraising.

CFG’s Annual Dinner and Awards brings together finance leaders, emerging talent, sector partners and supporters from across the charity community for a night of recognition, connection and celebration.

CFG’s awards are an opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the past year, strengthen professional networks, and celebrate the vital role finance plays in helping charities deliver lasting impact. From rising stars to established professionals and high-performing teams, the awards recognise those making an exceptional contribution to the sector.

Set in the elegant surroundings of the Royal Lancaster London, guests will enjoy a black-tie fundraising evening that shines a spotlight on excellence, innovation and leadership across charity finance.

Alongside the celebrations, the evening will also provide an opportunity to support CFG's work in strengthening financial leadership across the charity sector. Through the generosity of attendees and partners, we will raise funds that help us continue supporting finance professionals and championing best practice throughout the sector.
