How to get your good cause chosen

Good causes can receive a free masterclass in preparing the perfect KM Charity of the Year application.

The organisation chosen to be this paper’s charity of the year will also receive the backing of kmfm radio and KentOnline for 12 months, publicising its work to a massive new audience of potential supporters.

Charities can find out how to fine-tune their applications at the KM Charity Forum being staged on Friday, October 13. The forum is free to go to but places must be booked in advance. KM Charity of the Year is open to appli- cations until the deadline of Friday, October 27. The winning cause will be supported by the KM Group’s charity department through collaborative events run throughout the year.

Simon Dolby, chief executive of the KM Charity Team, said: “We know from experience that any cause, large or small, has a chance to be chosen. For tips that will give you the edge make sure you sign up for the forum. KM Charity of the Year is a fantastic opportunity for charities to put their organisation in the spotlight.”
