Summit 2025: Highlights and Insights

Our sold-out Summit at Croke Park on 28 May brought together 558 staff and volunteers of charities, community groups and social enterprises from across the island to debate the big issues, collaborate, connect and learn!

The theme of this year’s summit was Thriving Through Change. Attendees had the opportunity to hear from over 35 inspiring speakers, including an Taoiseach, the CEO of the Charities Regulator, and the new minister responsible for charities, Jerry Buttimer TD. Our members organised seven excellent parallel seminars, and a standout moment was the moving We Act session, where six charity staff members shared their personal stories with a captivated audience.

We've captured some of the best contributions and summarised key insights from the seven member-led sessions to help you get the most from the experience.
