Small Charity Week once again offers small and local charities a range of free opportunities to win and raise funds, including competitions, quizzes, auctions and collections.

Small Charity Week 2013 includes a dedicated Fundraising Day on 21 June which this year is sponsored by JustTextGiving by Vodafone supported by the Vodafone Foundation.

The week, which this year runs from 17-22 June, was set up in 2010 by The FSI with the aim of celebrating the work of small charities with the broadest audience possible. Last year over 1,000 small charities took part.

Clare Jones-Leake, Head of Giving Something Back at Vodafone UK, said:

“JustTextGiving by Vodafone makes text donations available to all UK charities, free of charge.  So even the smallest charities operating on the most limited of budgets can see just what text can do for them. By partnering with Small Charity Week 2013 Fundraising Day, we hope to see an explosion of small charities using their unique text codes to raise more money.”

Pauline Broomhead, CEO of the FSI, the charity behind Small Charity Week, added:

“The current fundraising climate is more difficult now than ever before and small charities are continuing to struggle to engage with individual supporters, corporates and to secure grants from trusts and foundations and statutory sources. Fundraising is essential for any charity and we are delighted to be able to offer Fundraising Day as a way for small charities to raise additional funds.”
