Are you a small or new community group or charity? Would you like top tips on running a group, finding funding and the opportunity to network with other small groups?
Join us for our next Small Groups’ Forum in October. We run three forums per year and the topics are chosen by small groups like yours.
Theme for the October 2026 Forum:
Committee Skills: Are you you on the committee or setting one up and would like to learn some basic committee skills? We’ll run a short session on what works well and what to avoid to help your committee run smoothly so you can achieve your groups’ aims more easily!
As usual there will be a chance to network with other small groups and of course hear about funding opportunities for small groups in Reading.
Who should attend:
Anyone running or volunteering with a small or new community group in Reading, or anyone wishing to set up a new group or project.
