Fee
SMK’s ‘Introduction to Campaigning’ workshop programme is part-funded by the Tudor Trust.
While we want to ensure that we can continue to provide sustainable support to grassroots campaigners for free, we ask those individuals and organisations who can afford it to pay a fee (although this is still heavily subsidised). At the same time we have broadened the range of individuals and groups who can access our workshops for free. The fees are as follows:
• Medium and large organisations – staff & volunteers (turnover more than £500k): £80
• Small organisations – staff & volunteers (turnover between £100k – £500k): £40
• Very small organisations – staff & volunteers (turnover less than £100k): £20
• Individuals: £10
• Individuals (unwaged/students/low income): FREE
A buffet lunch and refreshments are provided as part of the fee. If you have access needs or dietary requirements please let us know when you register.
