We are proud to be part of this collective effort to recognise the power of small charities in our local communities. Small Charity Week is not only a chance to say thank you but also an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of supporting local charities through donations, fundraising, and volunteering. With many small charities facing the risk of closure, celebrating this week is more vital than ever.
Kevin Lovelady, Founder & Chief Coordinator, said,
“Let’s not mince words: we can’t ignore the “omni-crisis” which is hitting micro and small organisations hardest – the third sector is being asked to fill the gaps left by years of public service cuts, often without the tools, time, or support to do so effectively. But, there is hope – not in blind optimism, but in collective realism and the emergence of shared solutions.”
Sarah Elliott, CEO of NCVO said
“Small charities are the beating heart of our sector and the communities they serve. But many are now under extraordinary pressure. Costs are rising, income is falling, and demand for their support is soaring. This year, Small Charity Week shines a spotlight on financial resilience. It’s a moment to celebrate the impact of small charities, highlight the challenges they face, and call for the recognition, funding and policy change they urgently need.”
Throughout the week, Partnering for Purpose CIC will be inviting the community to come together in recognition and support of the incredible resilience of small charities.
