Focus Groups for Small & Micro Charities: The Potential of Civil Society

Small charities, community groups, social enterprises and campaign groups contribute so much to making the UKs civil society what it is, but often their insights, expertise and experiences are not given sufficient attention in research. As such the Law Family Commission on Civil Society is extending its Call for Evidence by holding a series of online focus groups in early June exclusively for micro and small civil society organisations (any charity, community group, social enterprise, or campaign groups with an annual income of less than £500,000).
