Coffee & Connect is a new networking opportunity for Somerset-based fundraisers, and anyone responsible for generating income for their community group or organisation.

These monthly sessions, held online or in person, will provide an opportunity to share knowledge, discuss challenges and support each other in navigating the complexities of fundraising, particularly in these challenging times.

Our goal is to create a collaborative space where you can build your skills, exchange resources, and strengthening the local fundraising community.

Who is it for?

This session is aimed at anyone who works for or volunteers with a VCFSE group or organisation in Somerset and has responsibility for fundraising.

About the facilitators
