Small Groups’ Forum April 2025 – Top tips on safeguarding, DBS and hear from funders!
Third Floor, Reading Central Library, Abbey Square, Reading, RG1 3BQ
Are you are small community group in Reading? Come along to our next Small Groups’ Forum on Tuesday 29 April 2025 to hear about support, funding and networking for smaller groups like yours. The session is informal, friendly and catered specifically for smaller groups as we know the challenges and support you need can be different to that of larger groups.
Who are small groups:
- Mainly volunteer led
- With a gross annual income below £50K
If you don’t think you fit this category but still identify as a small group, you’re welcome to come along. You just need to ensure your group is offering some activities or services in Reading.
The April session will cover:
- Top tips on Safeguarding in small groups, DBS and risk assessments
- Funding opportunities for small groups – hear from Berkshire Community Foundation and The Earley Charity.
- Networking with each other
This is a friendly, informal session hosted by the Herjeet Vass from the RVA team, so don’t worry if you haven’t attended one of these sessions before. Refreshments will be provided.
