Your team leaves with a written AI usage guideline covering beneficiary data, donor data and sign-off.

Case Study
Practical training for small teams with big goals
13
managers trained in one live session
For Segen, I ran a live session for 13 managers from its Supply Chain, Product Management and Technical teams, based across the UK, Europe, South Africa and the USA. Different roles, different time zones and very different starting points, all in the same session.
For the International Association of Language Centres, I ran a 6-week programme for teams of 2 to 5 people from member schools. Attendance was 100% across all 6 sessions and the schools built a website chatbot, a marketing plan and a new approach to lesson planning.
I understand your needs: small teams with big goals, who need AI to fit around the work that matters, not the other way round. You can read more in my case studies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions charity leaders ask
Can AI write our grant applications?
It can help a lot with structure, first drafts and editing, but a person who knows the work should always write the heart of it. Funders read many applications and AI-written ones tend to sound alike. Use AI to get started faster, then add the evidence, stories and detail only your team knows. Check each funder’s own guidance on AI too.
Is it safe to put information about the people we support into AI tools?
As a rule, no. Keep names, case notes, health information and anything that identifies a beneficiary, donor or volunteer out of general AI tools unless your organisation has agreed a plan, settings and a clear legal basis. The training helps you write these rules down so everyone follows them, volunteers included.
Can volunteers join the training?
Yes. Volunteers often use AI on their own devices, so including them is one of the best ways to keep your rules consistent. Examples are tailored to each role, so nobody sits through material that isn’t relevant for them.
What can a charity actually use AI for?
The biggest wins are usually first drafts of funding bids and impact reports, supporter emails and newsletters, social posts, trustee papers, volunteer guides and summaries of long documents. AI won’t replace the care and knowledge your team brings but it can take a lot of the blank-page work off their plate.
How much does AI training for a charity cost?
A half-day workshop starts from £600 and a full day from £1,000. The 6-week AI Training Programme starts from £3,000 for groups of up to 15. If you’d like a plan first, the AI Opportunity Audit starts from £1,000. The final price depends on team size, scope and the preparation involved.
My prices are in pounds sterling (GBP) but I’m happy to invoice in any currency. There’s a fuller breakdown of the market in my guide: How much does AI training for a team cost?
Do you work with charities outside the UK?
Yes. I’m very experienced working across multiple time zones and happy to accommodate accordingly. For example, my AI Workshop for Segen brought together managers in the UK, Europe, South Africa and the USA. All the training is live over video and we’ll agree session times on the free call.
Why it works
Small teams, big missions and never enough hours in the day.
Most charities do a huge amount with very few people. That makes AI tempting: a grant application drafted in an hour, a thank-you email in seconds. But charities also hold some of the most sensitive information there is, about the people they support, their donors and their volunteers.
Good AI training for charities helps your team take the time savings without the risks. People learn where AI helps and how to check what it writes, so your voice stays warm and human. They also learn what must never go into an AI tool.
I’ve spent 15 years working on major brands in London, New York and Amsterdam, where every detail had to be carefully checked for quality. I put the same level of standard into every session.
Sessions are built around your real work, such as funding bids, impact reports, trustee papers, supporter newsletters and volunteer communications. People leave with workflows they’ll use the next day.
