#SmallsForSmalls events will run 23 to 28 June but aren't part of the formal Small Charity Week programme.  They are an unfunded, ad hoc series of informative and fun fringe events organised by the smalls themselves, with support from their friends, to help and promote the fantastic work of all small charities.  All smalls are invited - registered charities, social enterprises/CICs and community groups, including micro charities and IDOs.  All events are free.

Get Grants @ at 11am.  Funding Webinar TBN.

Ground Rules

Anyone can attend an event but priority will always be given to small non profits, if there is limited availability.

For contributors, the time and any financial costs will be met by those organising events/activities.  Any event/activity must be free, and of interest to a reasonable number or segment of smalls. It's fine to say who you are and what you do and it's OK to include your branding, website, contact details etc on slides, but you must not use it as an opportunity to promote your company, goods or services.  In participating, all contributors accept that they remain fully responsible for every aspect of their event, will ensure it is safely and well run, complies with all legal and regulatory requirements and, in the unlikely event of a problem, will deal with it, including accepting full responsibility for any claims or complaints arising from it.
