New training for Bucks charities to help secure essential funding

Local charity Community Impact Bucks is running its first Fundraising Festival (4^th-13^th October 2022) to help charities and community groups in Buckinghamshire to secure essential funding as traditional sources of income are hit by increasing pressure on local government finances and household incomes.

The Festival series will cover four fundraising areas – In Memory and Legacy Fundraising, Trust and Foundation Fundraising, Corporate Fundraising, and Community and Event Fundraising– each of which offer huge amounts of opportunity but can be daunting especially for small charities.

The interactive training sessions are led by professionals who are experts in their chosen fundraising area, and are free for anyone (paid or unpaid) who raises money for a not-for-profit organisation in the county. For more information and to book, visit Virtual Fundraising Festival.
