The Lord Mayor of Leeds, Cllr Al Garthwaite invites you to a Civic Reception to celebrate Small Groups and Small Charities in Leeds.

A small group or charity includes non-profit community or self-help groups run by volunteers, or a volunteer organisation with an annual turnover of less than £25,000. If you are part of one of these many groups that helps to make Leeds a great place to live, then this event is for you! Please see attached a flyer to share with your networks.

The event is an opportunity to say thank you to small groups and charities for the contribution and the work which has had a positive impact on the lives of Leeds residents.

This has been organised by Leeds City Council and Voluntary Action Leeds to provide small groups and charities with an opportunity to:

• Receive a certificate of recognition and have an opportunity to have your photo taken with the Lord Mayor
• Receive a commemorative leaflet including details of all the groups and charities attending
• Find out about advice, training, funding, and other support to help you run your group
• Sign up for newsletters and email alerts about training, funding, events and see what support is available on the Doing Good Leeds website.
• Be better informed and influence what is happening in Leeds.
• Find out about the networks and forums that your group can be part of, such as the Culturally Diverse Hub.

Places are limited to 4 people per small group or charity.
