In order to succeed you need hard work, experience and knowledge. The Coalition aims to find you the experience and knowledge you need, the rest is up to you.
What will you gain if you join as a friend?
- We aim to match you with the most appropriate skill, experience or resource you need
- We will offer you support and encouragement as well as free advice on best practice and good governance
- With your permission, we will share your feedback and views with the public
“The Small Charities Coalition helped us identify our needs and matched us with a bigger charity so that we could learn from their best practice. The Coalition has allowed us to build our capacity, and this has been very rewarding.” Maria Bavetta, Chair, OCD-UK
How does it work?
We are a Coalition of small charities that help and support each other by exchanging the resources you have, with the ones that you don’t. We ask you to complete an online survey that will; give us basic details about your charity; allow you to identify your charities needs that you wish the Coalition to help you with; and finally tell us what skills, knowledge and experience your charity has that you can offer back to other fellow small charities. The Small Charities Coalition effectively acts as a broker for this free exchange of resources.
Becoming a friend is FREE. To become a friend of the Coalition you need to:
- Be a UK registered charity
- Have an income of less than £1million
- Be prepared to share your charity's skills, experience and knowledge with other fellow small charities
“I would like to scream to other charities that you do have a lot to give. You don’t realise how good you are and how much you can do and how fantastic your staff are on what they can learn and what they can give until you ask them” Claire Capel, General Manager, Pegasus Theatre
