The FSI, the charity that helps other small charities, is hosting the 2013 [Small Charity Christmas Challenge](http://www.smallcharitychristmas.org/)
to enable local and small organisations to run a Christmas fundraising campaign.
It is a competition so the winning charity will receive £200.

Charities that take part will receive a free download from the FSI which provides
the tools for organisations to engage with their supporters, local businesses and
local communities in a fundraising event of their choice from 2nd to 24th December
2013.

The campaign’s website gives some good advice on how to plan for your Christmas 
event, what to do during it, and how to follow up afterwards to make the most of
the event.

There is no charge to take part in this festive fundraising initiative, but charities
must be members of The FSI to take part.
