CHARITIES across Hertfordshire are being offered the chance of free consultation sessions from leading fundraising experts at next week.

Midas Charity Appeals, which offers advice and training to charities and not-for-profit organisations, is sponsoring the 20th anniversary celebrations of the Hertfordshire Community Foundation.

Midas consultants provide information and guidance, usually for a fee, on a range of fundraising issues, but to mark two decades of the foundation, the company will be providing free, half-hour surgeries to charities across the county.

The event takes place next Thursday, April 30, from 2pm to 7pm, at the foundation's offices in Forum Place, off Fiddlebridge Lane, Hatfield.

A full programme of experts at the event is available online at www.midasappeals.org.uk
