A leading fundraising expert will be connecting with fellow charitable organisations across the Canterbury district at a forum in July.

Simon Dolby, chief executive of the KM Charity Team, will serve as a guest speaker at the Canterbury Networking Forum, organised by Red Zebra Community Solutions.

Charities, social enterprises and community groups are invited to attend the free event which will see Mr Dolby providing invaluable advice as to how businesses can expand their good work, as well as tips on how to apply to become a KM Charity of the Year and get the editor of their local newspaper acting as their champion for 12 months.

Mr Dolby, said: “Across my career, I have seen the vast developments of the charitable sector, so I am very pleased to be in a position where I can provide some clarity for fellow enterprises in the Canterbury district. At the KM Charity Team we work tirelessly to build and better our brand, and to give more back to the community at every opportunity. I sincerely hope those who do attend the forum find the provided information both useful and inspiring.”

The Canterbury Network Forum takes place on Monday, July 4 at 10:ooam – 12:30pm at: Social Enterprise Kent, 2B The Links, Herne Bay, Kent CT6 7GQ
