Six months into leading NCVO, one lesson has become increasingly clear to me: the hardest part is not deciding what matters.
It’s deciding where to focus when so many things matter

We’re incredibly proud to share that over £2.5 million has been raised to support 253 small charities this #SmallCharityWeek.
We’re so grateful to everyone who made this possible, including our match funders, whose generosity has helped unlock vital funds.
Thank you 💚

“While good progress has been made to embed the principles of the Civil Society Covenant, that work must not stop.
It is vital that the positive momentum is maintained by the next administration to fully deliver better outcomes for people and communities across the country.”
