Small Charities Coalition and Charity Trustee Networks are building something unique. A network of small and large charities that can help and support one another by exchanging the skills, experience and resources your charity already has, with those that you don’t. By joining the coalition you are sharing our vision and will do all that you can to support it. Together, we are more effective.
