**Localgiving has launched a competition to celebrate this year’s Small Charity 
Week, with £4,000 in prizes to be won.**

The [Small Charity Week Challenge](https://localgiving.org/small-charity-week-challenge)
runs during [Small Charity Week](http://smallcharityweek.com/), between Monday 18
June and Sunday 24 June, and aims to highlight the wide-ranging causes that local
charities and community groups support.

During the campaign all Localgiving members will be placed into five leaderboards
based on the primary cause they support. Throughout the week, all participants will
be ranked on the leaderboard according to the number of unique online donors who
sponsor them. At the end of the campaign £4,000 in prizes will be awarded to top
five organisations on each leaderboard – with prizes ranging from £50 to £300.

> “Each year, Small Charity Week gives us an opportunity to celebrate the work of
> grassroots groups. Small, local charities are seldom given the credit they deserve
> for the incredible work they do. The range of services and support these groups
> provide is staggering – the aim of this campaign is to show just how varied and
> vital the work of our community based, and focused, groups really is.”
