Guest: Louise Dawtry, Founder of What's the Chari-tea and People & Culture Lead at Leeds Mind
Date: Wednesday, 26 November 2025
Time: 10:00AM - 10:30AM GMT
Webinar Overview:
Louise Dawtry has seen firsthand how limited budgets and resources can impact wellbeing and motivation in the nonprofit sector. Determined to make a difference, Louise founded What’s the Chari-tea - an inclusive online community dedicated to improving wellbeing, reducing burnout, and making nonprofit life more sustainable.
Alongside her role as People and Culture Lead at Leeds Mind, Louise is on the Board of Trustees for Staying Put, and volunteers with King’s Trust and Smart Works. Drawing on her experiences and insights from the What’s the Chari-tea podcast, proudly sponsored by Rosterfy, Louise will share real stories and practical strategies to help nonprofits navigate the highs and lows of sector life.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- What’s driving burnout and disengagement among nonprofit staff and volunteers
- How culture, boundaries, and leadership behaviours impact wellbeing
- Practical ways organisations can invest in people and infrastructure to create sustainable impact
- Insights from What’s the Chari-tea conversations and community feedback
Join us for a heart-led discussion on how people-first practices - supported by the right systems and infrastructure - can transform wellbeing and strengthen the nonprofit sector for the long term.
