Leeds Funding Support Network Hosts April Meeting on Zoom

Local charities and community groups invited to join online session

The Leeds Funding Support Network is holding an online meeting on Tuesday 14th April 2026 from 1.00pm to 2.15pm via Zoom. The session is aimed at individuals involved in fundraising for charities, community groups, and other not-for-profit organisations in Leeds.

The meeting is open to a broad range of participants including management committee members, trustees, volunteers, and paid workers. It is particularly targeted at small groups and individuals who are new to fundraising or looking to develop their fundraising skills. More experienced fundraisers are also encouraged to attend and share their knowledge and experiences.

Meeting agenda and speaker details

The session will provide an opportunity for attendees to discuss their group’s funding needs, share fundraising tips, successes, and challenges. A key feature of the meeting will be a presentation by Chris Colwell, Head of Investment at Key Fund. He will discuss how small organisations such as charities, community groups, and social enterprises can access loans, including the advantages and disadvantages of this funding option.
