At FTG, the concept of vulnerability isn’t just a term; it’s a deep understanding that guides how we connect with every client. But what does it truly mean to be vulnerable? Vulnerability refers to the increased likelihood of experiencing harm or adversity. This could encompass physical, emotional, or financial harm, among other types. At FTG, we know that all our clients fit into this definition, due to the life-altering challenges they face. Their resilience inspires us daily, and we never take their trust for granted.
Recognising the important role of those we support, we have themed this year’s Deputy Day conference around “Guardians of the Vulnerable.” This theme goes beyond conventional duties; it’s a tribute to the role that deputies play, which we see as nothing short of heroic. Deputies are not just professionals making decisions; they are lifelines, protectors, and advocates for those who are most in need of support.
Why “Guardians of the Vulnerable”?
Every day, we hear stories from our clients about the complex situations they navigate. These aren’t just challenges; they are profound moral and legal dilemmas that require wisdom, compassion, and resilience. This year, at Deputy Day, we’re taking a deeper dive into these real-world complexities.
We’ve invited experienced deputies to share standout cases that have shaped their careers—moments where their decisions had monumental impacts on the lives of others. By discussing their own strategies and the support they rely on, our speakers will offer real-world insights that bring learning to life. They provide living examples of our core values in action: resilience, heart, integrity, and respect.
A Conduit for Growth and Learning
Our goal for Deputy Day is ambitious yet straightforward: we want every participant to leave equipped with new tools and perspectives that empower them further as guardians of the vulnerable. Through stories of real challenges and triumphs, we expect to foster a deeper understanding and enhance the skills of every deputy.
We hope for you to return to your role with fresh ideas, renewed passion, and innovative tactics that make your critical work even more effective. This conference is designed for Deputies, the guardians who inspire us with your dedication and bravery. We are here to support you as you nurture and protect those who depend on you the most.
Our Dedication to Our Clients
Incorporating our values into every action we take is at the heart of why Frenkel Topping goes to great lengths to organise the Deputy Day conference. It isn’t immediately obvious, perhaps, why Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) would dive so deeply into supporting deputies, but our mission transcends traditional boundaries. Our commitment to understanding and addressing the complexities of vulnerability aligns perfectly with the guardianship deputies offer. As IFAs, we see firsthand the profound impact financial stability and planning can have on improving the lives of those who have gone through life-changing events. To us at Frenkel Topping, Deputy Day is an extension of our dedication to empower and educate those who serve as a lifeline for the vulnerable. It’s our firm belief that by enriching the knowledge and resilience of deputies, we’re contributing to a stronger, more supportive community for our clients.
Doing things Differently
This year, we’re introducing an exciting addition to Deputy Day that demonstrates our commitment to providing meaningful, personalised support: a series of workshops designed to explore topics that matter most to you. Understanding that growth and learning are deeply personal journeys, we’re offering sessions on Costs, Investments, Tax, and Welfare Benefits—each led by experts passionate about sharing their knowledge and expertise. These workshops are your chance to engage in smaller, more intimate settings, providing you the opportunity to discuss, query, and explore subjects in detail. After securing your ticket, you’ll have the choice to select which workshops resonate most with your needs and interests. Keep an eye on our social media and for emails from our team for upcoming announcements about our expert hosts and prepare yourself for a day of insightful learning tailored just for you.
This year’s Deputy Day isn’t just a conference; it’s a celebration of the heroic in the everyday, and a toolkit for those committed to being the very best guardians they can be. We look forward to sharing this powerful day with you.
We’re inviting you to be a part of this meaningful gathering. If you haven’t secured your ticket for Deputy Day yet, now is the time. Spaces are filling quickly, and we have a limited capacity to ensure a high-quality experience for every attendee.
