The main purpose of the group is for those in Somerset with a genuine interest in funding for the voluntary/community sector (VCS) to network with other fundraisers and to share information.
Meetings will be held quarterly and speakers from a variety of funding agencies will be invited to address the group from time to time.
Members will help, advise, inform, support and guide each other in their fundraising work.
The need of group members will help to direct local fundraising training provision.
Any sensitive information shared at meetings about member's fundraising activity for their organisation will remain confidential unless agreed otherwise.
A membership subscription will be payable in April of each year.
Any member considered to be acting contrary to the interests of the group may have their membership withdrawn.
Somerset Fundraising Group (SFG) funds will be held by Mind in Taunton and West Somerset who will report of the financial position at each meeting. Mind in Taunton and West Somerset will be accountable to SFG members for all monies held in SFG's name and its members will decide how any surplus should be spent.
In the event of SFG being disolved, any financial residue will pass to another organisation concerned with promoting VCS fundraising in Somerset.
