Small Charity Week is this year offering small charities six opportunities in which
they can raise funds for themselves in the form of digital and community fundraising
initiatives. All of them are free to take part in.

Small charities are defined by the Week’s organiser, the FSI, as charities with 
an annual turnover of under £1.5 million.

Small Charity Week , now in its sixth year, takes place from  **15 – 20 June 2015**.
Some of the fundraising opportunities, however, have deadlines before then.

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

> “We started Small Charity Week in 2010 as a series of activities and initiatives
> to support and raise awareness of the hundreds and thousands of small charities
> that, every day, make a huge difference to vulnerable communities right across
> the UK and the rest of the world. I am delighted that it has grown to offer a 
> range of different free fundraising initiatives to support small charities to 
> fundraise for themselves”.
