Description
Lucinda and Alina are joined by Sarah Vibert, chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations, and Vic Hancock Fell, organiser of Small Charities Week.They discuss the challenges facing small charities in the face of the cost-of-living crisis, combined with the closure of the small charity infrastructure bodies the Small Charities Coalition and the Foundation for Social Improvement. Sarah lays out the NCVO’s plan to fill the gap, acknowledging an inevitable deviation away from the “by small, for small” approach but highlights the work of new, complementary small charity-led support structures such as the Small Charities Advisory Panel.Vic lists the existing peer-to-peer support networks available to small charity leaders and describes how Small Charities Week will aim to formulate concrete calls to action to stimulate long-term change for the sector.Charity Changed My Life features the story of Sandy Nash, a long-time volunteer for the Sobell House Hospice Charity who describes the privilege she feels at being able to contribute to the delivery of a valuable local service.Do you have stories of people whose lives have been transformed for the better thanks to your charity?
