Free resources for London-based charities

Are you a registered charity or CIO? Is your registered address in London? Do you have an annual turnover or £100k a year or less?

If your answer is yes to these questions then we have a range of free resources, that are available to support your organisation!

At DSC, we understand the difficulties small charities face in accessing resources to support with the ins and outs of running and managing a charity, which is why we are very excited for the opportunity to offer a range of free resources for London based charities.

With the support of City Bridge Foundation, we have a range of free resources available for London-based charities that are least able to access or afford support. Thanks to City Bridge Foundation over the next few months, we will offer training courses, events, publication and funding support, all for free!
