Small Charity Week is an annual celebration of the amazing work of small charities across the U.K. The aim is to raise awareness of the invaluable contribution of small charities, promoting their activities and providing the recognition they deserve. Small Charity Week runs from Monday 19th June - Friday 23rd June, with each day focusing on a different theme*.
Many of our members at 3SG are small charities - defined as those with an annual income of under £1 million - and as part of our celebrations for the week, we will be spotlighting a few of them, so keep an eye out on our social media!
Small Charity Week is hosting a jam packed schedule of free events throughout the week, with topics ranging from fundraising and partnerships, to charity comms, utility bills and staff management. There's something on the agenda for every small charity, and with expert speakers from successful charities delivering many of these short courses, you're sure to learn something new and useful. They have also collated a list of other events happening during the week in support of Small Charity Week. Together, there are almost 100 free events available. Find out more here.
Small Charity Week also have a plethora of helpful, on-demand webinar recordings available, including the basics of Health & Safety for your charity, and employing your first member of staff. Check them out here.
