RESOURCES: Here’s how your organisation can be a part of Small Charity Week

Jun 19, 2025 | News

Small Charity Week is led by NCVO and exists to celebrate and support the UK’s small charities. The 2025 campaign, running from 23 – 28 June, shines a spotlight on financial resilience, recognising the incredible efforts of small charities to keep delivering, even as costs rise and funding falls.

 

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.”
