How your charity can make the most of Small Charity Week

This year’s campaign is all about financial resilience – helping you stay open, funded and connected during a time of rising costs and falling income.

We’re focused on action: providing tools, advice and opportunities to help your charity keep going and continue making a difference.

Many small charities are at risk of closure. That means people could lose access to the services they rely on and communities could be left without support.

• Funding is drying up: public donations are falling, and key funders are changing direction
• Costs are rising fast: inflation, wage pressures and the National Insurance hike are adding strain
• Volunteering is in decline, leaving many charities short of the people they need.

Without action, small charities could disappear from the places that need them most.

Whether you’re part of a small charity or want to show your support, here’s how you can get involved:

• Download the campaign resources and share your story
• Sign up for events and advice sessions
• Use #SmallCharityWeek and tag @smallcharityweek
