We are looking forward to launching the FCS Charity of the Year 2022/23 Competition!
Would you like to win a cash contribution for your charity? Would you like to access new grant funding streams? Would you benefit from expert grant-writing support?
The FCS Charity of the Year package brings together support worth £3,000 and includes a £250 cash contribution.
Following the success of this initiative in previous years we will be launching the next competition at the FCS Charity Hub on Thursday 3rd November 2022.
Last year the United Women's Affiliation became our charity of the year. They used the cash donation to update their website and we have been working with them to identify funders and compile grant applications to support the sessions run at the 12 O'Clock Centre. We are delighted they have most recently been successful in securing funding from the Sheffield Town Trust.
'At FCS we see the challenges many small, local charities face on a daily basis to raise funds and bid for grants to support local people in need. We launched our own initiative which provides us with the opportunity to give something back to the local community and make a real difference.' Rachel Fletcher, MD FCS Associates.
