Localgiving was set up in 2009 by Bath-based philanthropist Marcelle Speller OBE, and has been helping local causes ever since.
The recently launched Frome Development Programme, in partnership with a local philanthropist, enables Localgiving to provide up to twenty different charities, social enterprises and community groups across Frome with up to £250 match funding, free membership of their online donations platform and training to help develop new fundraising skills. Speaking about the programme, James Carlin, West of England Manager, says “This is great chance to try online fundraising with free 1-1 support from an experienced local fundraiser. I can help you to create an appeal, attract monthly donors, maximise match funding opportunities and set up a donate button on your website.” Visit: http://join.localgiving.org/west to register your group and use the promo code ‘FROME75’ to access everything on offer.
