2 Days to Go…

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

It’s finally here!

At the FSI we’re all about supporting the small charities who work right across the UK to build happier, safer and more supportive communities.  All of these charities are about to move closer together with the launch of the FSI Community, an online community aimed at the staff, trustees and volunteers that make our sector tick.

This Thursday we will be launching Stage 1 of the Community, allowing you to come online and create your individual user profiles.

Later in the month, as we roll out Stage 2, the options widen:

- You can build your charity profile page and tell other users about the extraordinary work you do

- Search for other organisations that work in your area or on the cause that matters to your charity

- Chat with individuals who do a similar job to yours about the challenges you face and ways in which you might be able to help with one another

- Learn more about the FSI and the trainings or support programmes that may be of most benefit to you

- Download exclusive support content developed by the FSI and aimed at helping you to build a strategic, sustainable charity operation

So get online this Thursday and check out the best new online solution for small charities, delivered free-of-charge by the FSI.

FSI BIG NEWS: 5 DAYS TO GO

Friday, March 5th, 2010

The FSI is delighted to announce that next week we will be going live with the FSI Community.  From Wednesday March 10th small charities will be able to log on to the Community to chat with other charities, share information, join in online forums discussing the issues that affect you most, and access exclusive online FSI content.  The FSI Community is like Facebook for small charities and it is totally free to register and use. 

On launch day we will send you details to register (it is a quick and painless process!) so you can get online and join the network of small charities.  There is a forum on the site for your feedback so that as the Community evolves it best reflects the needs of all the small charities using it.

So make sure you keep some time free next Wednesday to sign up for this great new initiative!

New Grants Scheme Announced from Children in Need

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Small grants of up to £10,000 are available to Third Sector Organisations supporting children and young people.

The new scheme marks the first time Children in Need have run a UK-wide small grants programme and is aimed predominantly at organisations which have not previously considered applying. The programme is open to any third sector organisation working with children and young people under the age of 18.

There will be four funding rounds with deadlines on: 15 January 2010 15 April 2010 15 July 2010 15 October 2010. It is expected the total funding for both the small and large grants schemes will be in excess of £38 million in 2010 and will be administered through seven regional bases.

The director of grants and policy at Children in Need, Sheila Jane Malley, explained the programme would seek to fund well-organised projects which can demonstrate commitment and enthusiasm: “The first thing we look at is benefit for children and young people. Is the organisation clear about what improvements it wants to bring about, and is it clear about how it can do it?”
