next event from our @esrc - funded project on financial vulnerability in UK charities - this time led by @altecon with a focus on Scotland: eventbrite.co.uk/e/financial… 30th November, 130pm.
Join us online on Tue 30 November as we present our research examining the financial vulnerability of Scottish charities during the COVID-19 pandemic, including issues around income diversity and charity reserves.
Sign up free here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/financial…
⚠️Spoilers⚠️ Many Scottish charities had low reserves or high income concentration going in to Covid, but despite seeing a big dip in income during the pandemic we are yet to see significant numbers of charities de-registering.
Our fourth working paper produced by @AltEcon and @socstats_rs is now available.
The paper examines data from two UK volunteer-matching systems to explore the scale, timing and characteristics of volunteering during the pandemic.
