Small Charity Week is a campaign which was first established in 2010 to celebrate and raise the profile of the small charity sector.

The campaign is delivered by The FSI, NCVO, NAVCA, Local Giving and Small Charities Coalition, who are all passionate about the work of the Small Charity Sector.

The week is organised as a series of activities and initiatives to support and raise awareness of the hundreds and thousands of small charities that, every day, make a huge difference to vulnerable communities right across the UK and the rest of the world.

We want small charities to flourish and continue to provide the vital services that are essential to thriving communities. We help where we can by offering free, bespoke advice to small charities in North Yorkshire.

 

Gathered below are some of our resources that small charities use the most as well as blogs and stories to celebrate the small charities around us.
