Charities F.M. Group Meetings

We arrange roughly four meetings each year. Each meeting usually includes a workshop on a key topic related to facilities management.

Each meeting includes time for general exchange of news and information. We also encourage everyone to get networking - it's amazing what you can learn during this time!

Fees

We aim to keep the cost of meetings as low as possible for members of the Charities FM Group. We usually charge members £10 per meeting to cover administration and CPD Certificates. Non-members may attend for a fee of £55.

Venues

Our meetings are usually held in Central London to make transport easy. We often visit our member charities' offices and have a tour to learn how they manage their facilities.

Timings

CPD

We issue CPD Certificates for our meetings.
