The Small Charities Coalition exists to help small charities access the skills, experience and resources they need to achieve their aims.
We know from our own experience that many small charities suffer from a chronic lack of resources, skills and expertise, despite having an abundance of passion and commitment. The Small Charities Coalition is like a voluntary sector matchmaking service, matching small charities with other organisations that have the skills, experience, and in some cases resources, that the small charity lacks.
These skills and experience may come from a fellow small charity who is a Coalition friend or from a Coalition supporter. Supporters are usually larger charities, public or private sector organisations.
Benefiting from the Small Charities Coalition is free. All we ask is that Coalition friends be prepared to share their charity's skills, experience and knowledge with other fellow small charities
The Small Charities Coalition is about helping small charities to help themselves, and enable them to have access to the considerable expertise of their larger counterparts in the charitable sector or those from other sectors.
Our services include:
- Matchmaking small charities with other organisations to increase resources or improve knowledge and skills
- Providing support, guidance, encouragement, advice and information to small charities
- Presenting personal and vocational development opportunities for individuals who volunteer to help small charities
- Offering a resource for small charities to get their voices heard within the media and Government
