A FREE networking event for anyone in the charity or non-profit sector who want to make new connections, share insights or maybe just check out what organisations like yours are up to elsewhere in the UK.

The focus of this event will be Fundraising and we'll be looking especially at fundraising methods and tips for charities that maybe don't consider themselves 'seasoned professionals' at generating revenue.

We will also have a guest speaker talking to us about Easyfundraising. The innovate, free online platform that gives any charity the chance to generate donations via retailer cashback schemes (further details below).

Whether you want to discuss how to get started with fundraising, how to be more effective or simple hear about what others are doing in the hope of picking up some tips generally, we'll have something for you!

And as it's FREE... What have you got to lose by coming along?!

Event Format

We will start with (very brief) 'around the room' intros, with the added (entirely optional) opportunity to share contact details and online links.

Then we'll hear from our guest speaker (10 mins) with a brief Q&A to follow.

That will be followed with some group discussions (again, participation optional for those who prefer to remain in the background) on the subjects of fundraising, with everyone getting a chance to ask questions, gain insights and share experience.

Finally we have our 'Any Other Business' section. If what you wanted to know or ask hasn't come up, you'll get your chance!

So, if fundraising is one of your priority issues right now, this event will have something for you!
