We're back with live coverage of the third and final day of the Institute of Fundraising's National Convention in London.

In fact, UK Fundraising's Howard Lake is not at the Convention today, having reported in person for the last two days. But that is not going to stop us from bringing you the latest reports from the event. As you'll see, we're featuring contributions from many delegates at the event, together with feedback and comments from others following the event online.

If you missed our live report on the first day of the Convention you can view it at

and the second day is at
