Charities F.M. Group Meetings

We arrange roughly four meetings each year. Each meeting usually includes a workshop on a key topic. We try to get speakers who are members of the Charities F.M. Group with experiences to share.

The workshop is followed by time for general exchange of information and networking - it's amazing what you can learn during this time!

Fees

The meetings are free to members of the Charities FM Group. Non-members: £45.00.

Venues

Our meetings are usually held in Central London. We try to set times that allow for travel and childcare requirements.

Meeting Notes

The CFM Group is co-ordinated on a voluntary basis. Where possible we aim to be able to post materials from meetings here, but we don't have the resources to send out minutes, notes, etc.

Want to come to a meeting?

If you are a CFM Group member and are planning to come to a meeting, please let us know. It helps our hosts to arrange security, chairs/ refreshments, etc.
