Fundraising for charities in the current climate, especially for smaller ones with fewer resources to spend, is becoming more and more difficult. At a time when government and local authority funding is being drastically cut it is now more important than ever that charities look for alternative sources of income.

This one-day course, delivered by Panikos Efthimiou of the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), will help you do just that. Exploring ways to get donations from individuals and how to make them tax efficient with a simple explanation of Gift Aid, Payroll Giving, Shares and Legacies he will also give you some top tips on approaching companies and an insight into online fundraising and how to integrate social networking into your overall fundraising plan.

Each delegate will also leave with a clear action plan highlighting key next steps for your charity. He also promises lots of interaction and fun as you learn!

There will be a small charge of £10 for each delegate to cover the trainer, lunch and refreshments costs.
