Our friends and neighbours at SCVO have announced they will be hosting a Meet the Expert online session, in partnership with Abigail Ward from The Giving Machine.
You can join them for the morning of Tuesday 14th October 2025 at 10:00 am via a Zoom conference call. Book your free place by clicking here.
The session will provide valuable insights into running the GivingLottery — a free platform that helps charities, Community Interest Companies, Parent and Teacher Associations and other not-for-profits earn regular, unrestricted income with minimal effort. It’s easy to join, costs nothing, and each cause gets their own lottery page.
The Giving Machine will also be showcasing their small grants programme, offering £250 unrestricted grants each quarter to organisations and groups with a turnover of less than £1m.
