At the FSI we put small charities first and in 2010 we want to celebrate their successes and the value of small charities in our communities as we launch the inaugural Small Charity Week! www.smallcharityweek.com

Small Charity Week 2010 will bring together organisations, businesses, schools and other partners across the UK to focus on campaigning small charity issues, lobbying for small charities and the sector, fundraising, and challenging negative and affirming positive messages about small charities with the general public. 

Each day will adopt a key theme (as identified by charities) and provide forums to up-skill and activities to get involved in.  You can choose how much you want to be involved, from a single online session to a full week of activities!

During Small Charity Week the FSI will be doubling with a number of partners to provide daily activities and opportunities for small charities. To get into the spirit of the week we would also like to invite small charities to celebrate and organise their own profile raising/fundraising events and activities and register these on our website to create publicity, gather support, and become part of the Small Charity Week community.

We will also be inviting small charities to post their success stories on the Small Charity Week website and to invite their beneficiaries and supporters to upload their stories and comments on ‘how a small charity has touched me/changed my life’ Let’s get our voices heard, stories told, and take the time to share, speak-out, learn from each other, and most importantly celebrate the good work, dedication and passion of small charities!!
