What we cover
1
Where Claude fits
What Claude is, how it differs from ChatGPT and Copilot, and where it genuinely has the edge for charity work - particularly long documents and careful writing.
2
What charities are doing with it
Real examples: policy briefings, funding research, report writing, meeting summaries, and turning messy notes into something usable.
3
Cowork
A look at Claude's agentic functionality, including Skills, schedule tasks and projects.
Participants will build an agent inside Claude Cowork.
4
Working with your own material
Hands-on practice uploading and working from real documents, case studies and data, rather than a blank prompt box.
5
Risks, limits and what's next
Data privacy, accuracy and safe use, plus a look at where Claude and similar tools are heading.
Your team keeps hearing about Claude. Nobody's actually shown them how to use it.
-
Staff have heard Claude is "better for writing" but don't know what that means in practice
-
People default to whatever tool they tried first and never compare
-
Long documents and reports still get written the slow way
-
There's no shared approach, so quality and safety vary person to person
-
Leadership isn't sure whether Claude adds anything Copilot or ChatGPT doesn't already cover
This session gives your team a clear, hands-on understanding of what Claude does well, how it fits alongside the tools you already use, and how to get consistently useful results from it on real charity work.
