About The Programme
Thanks to funding from two private philanthropists, Localgiving is able to provide special grants to local charities and community groups in Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol and Frome. This includes access to £200 of ring-fenced match funding, half price membership of Localgiving for a year and a minimum of 5 hours free fundraising support to enable them to develop new online fundraising skills to diversify their income.
Our South West of England Regional Development Programme is being managed by James Carlin, who has over a decade of not for profit experience, as well as being involved in a number of high profile fundraising projects, including Soccer Aid. He is keen to pass on his knowledge, as well as that of Localgiving, to ensure small, local charities and community groups thrive through online fundraising.
This programme is open to local charities and community groups operating in Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol or Frome.
How it works
Charities who take part in the development programme will receive a range of benefits, including:
