Charities provide a variety of resources to the public and are created for a variety of reasons – sometimes to fill in the gaps left by the public sector and commercial services, others for personal reasons, such as honouring the life of a loved one. For those who see an opportunity for a new charity to be created, they may be at a loss of where to begin, especially when it comes to the legal ramifications.

Insights from our Monitoring and Evaluation Process Many of our charities continue to struggle to build resilience leaving some unable to cope with shocks and key staff absence. This can slow progress and affect delivery. However, our charities also show that becoming resilient is possible. Our funding has given leaders the breathing room to implement contingency plans and strategies to diversify income. The message is clear on resilience: is it an illusion? Absolutely not. Unrestricted, multi-year core funding, as well as access to high quality skills and training, helps small charities turn resilience from myth to reality. We encourage other funders to take note. #smallcharities #socialchange #socialjustice #funding #socialenterprise #charities #inequality #grantmaking

Survey Shows UK Charities Facing Increased Demand and Funding Struggles According to a recent Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) survey, 86% of charity leaders have seen a significant rise in demand for their services over the past year, with 54% reporting that it has risen "a lot." This is up from 43% in 2023. Despite the growing need, 18% of leaders are uncertain they’ll have enough funding to sustain their operations by the end of the decade. It's a challenging time for the sector—let's continue to support these essential organisations. #CharitySupport #FundingChallenges #RisingDemand #UKCharities #NonProfit
