Across the UK, there are over 166,000 voluntary organisations, the majority of them small. The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) estimate that 92% of their members are charities with an income under £1 million, and most have an income of under £30,000. 💰 Small charities constitute the backbone of the wider VCSE sector, often operating with limited resources yet making a significant impact on local communities. 🎖 Read about the challenges facing small charities and the support that we and our partners at Empowering Communities are offering them here: 👇 https://lnkd.in/eA3HKUgH #smallcharities #vcsesector #community
