It’s Small Charities Week!

The perfect time to shine a light on the organisations working quietly and tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our communities thriving.

From food banks and mental health groups to grassroots youth programmes, small charities are doing big things. But they’re doing it while navigating broken funding systems, chronic underrepresentation, and a support landscape that often feels like a maze.

NCVO’s Power of Small report lays it all out. Based on input from over 600 small charities, it highlights the everyday challenges these organisations face — and, more importantly, explores real, workable solutions to fix them. From smarter funding models and peer support networks to a centralised digital ‘front door’ for guidance and resources, the report offers a roadmap for a more equitable sector.

📌 If you work in the voluntary sector, fund small charities, or simply believe in fairer systems, now’s the time to pay attention.
