The Foundation for Social Improvement (FSI) are the winners of the Lifelong Learning (Centre) Award at the SQA Star Awards 2019.

The FSI is a registered charity that provides high-quality training and support for small charities. In 2017, it approached SQA to develop a fundraising qualification specifically for the small charity sector, where funding for training is always an issue.

FSI now offers an introductory course, and a Certificate and Diploma in Fundraising Practice. These qualifications have helped over 30 small charities gain a fundraising edge, enabling them to benefit from expertise to maximise their fundraising potential.

With new e-modules continuing to be developed, webinars and e-learning help make delivery accessible, especially for rural charities.
