Calling small charity leaders
The Weston Charity Awards is inviting small charity leaders to take part in its annual online survey. Last year’s survey showed three quarters of small and medium sized charities were spending little or no time on long term planning and strategy and needed support planning for the future.
Is this something your charity can relate to?
The survey might help you consider whether your charity could benefit from the kind of strategic support offered through the Awards. As a small incentive, a donor has provided a 32GB Apple iPad to be won by one charity picked at random from those who take part.
