Small Charities Coalition to Close

The trustees of SCC regret to announce their decision to formally wind up the charity.
This has been an extremely difficult decision. It has been taken after the Trustees and SCC’s team have exhausted all possibilities to secure funding that would have put the charity on a secure, sustainable financial footing to continue its work in support of thousands of small charities.
Our aim is to close the charity responsibly in Spring 2022 and secure ongoing support for small charities through other channels and organisations. SCC started life back in 2008, a time when there were limited resources and support available for small charities. The founders wanted SCC to be the “go to” place, enabling small charities to start up and run themselves well.
Since then, enormous progress has been made, particularly during the past two years when smaller charities have played a critical role in supporting communities during COVID-19.
We were fortunate to secure additional COVID-related funding in the year to 31st March 2021, which made it possible for us to enhance our support to members at a crucial time. But securing the financial sustainability of SCC has been a perennial issue. Like many charities, large and small, we faced our own challenges around finance and fundraising. Sourcing funding absorbs significant time which, with a small staff, made it difficult to meet our commitment to serve small charities.
COVID has shown that there was a very real need for our services, including our HelpDesk, training and events, newsletter and mentoring programme. Our dedicated staff team has worked extremely hard during the pandemic to get support out to small charities dealing with all the challenges this crisis has created for them and the causes they support, so we want to say a huge thank you to them. We know that the decision to close SCC affects our current staff of three more than anyone else and we will be doing absolutely everything we can to support them in the coming months.
We are immensely proud of what everyone who has been involved with SCC has achieved since our inception in 2008, from our funders through to past staff, trustees, members, trainers, mentors, partners and supporters. We thank our funders, who made it possible for the team to carry out this work, and who prioritised providing support services for small charities.
We acknowledge how difficult this news may be to receive. SCC would not have existed without our members and we have been so proud to fly the flag for small charities for the past 13 years. The pandemic has shown us all how critical small charities are to the communities they serve. We hope our legacy is that the needs of small charities are permanently at the top of the sector’s agenda.
We will give updates as we go through the process of closing the organisation.

Landed here after it appeared in a Kidlington betting thread during a late scroll. What captured my interest was a sensible piece about firejoker-gb.uk mixed with practical notes on button loading state text opacity and processing label transparency in the UK site. No wild promises about loading state styling perfection or opacity treatment genius. The straightforward writing was a relief. When wrapped up, I felt informed, read like actual player commentary.
Hi all, happy to be here. I decided to open and spend some time exploring the platform to understand its layout. I started with the homepage and then checked a few sections from the menu to see how the site is organized. The structure looks fairly straightforward, and moving between the pages feels simple enough. By reviewing different Golden Panda sections and reading the information available, it becomes easier to understand how the platform is arranged.😀
A mate from Liverpool sent me a message about this site after we talked about trying different UK platforms. I wasn’t planning to deposit again so soon, but I created an account through https://boujeerestaurantandbar.co.uk/ out of curiosity. The registration process was simple, which I liked. My session began slowly, and I nearly stopped, yet a lucky streak turned it around. I managed to clear my previous deficit and even ended the evening with extra funds.
Nice post!!!
The news about the Small Charities Coalition closing carries a real sense of loss for the charity sector in the UK, where so many small, mission‑driven organisations have depended on its resources and collective voice. For years it has helped groups navigate challenges, from funding pressures to governance questions, and fostered connections that strengthened the wider charitable landscape. As we digest this change, many are already sharing memories of the practical help they received and discussing ways to ensure that the spirit of collaboration endures among small charities themselves. There’s also an interesting shift toward digital engagement, with communities finding new ways to connect, exchange ideas and support one another. Even light‑hearted spaces like online din UK gams…
I wasn’t actively searching for new slots when this page showed up in a discussion thread about classic casino games popular in the UK. A few users mentioned Davinci’s Gold, so I decided to look deeper. The breakdown on https://www.casino-sistersite.co.uk/davincis-gold/ felt honest and didn’t promise miracles. I played patiently, had some ups and downs, and by the end of the session I was back in profit, which made the whole experience feel balanced and fair.
