Reports like this show the need for a rebalancing of funding, with specific allocations for local grassroots charities. We need policies that recognise and support small charities and provide for maximum impact.

🚨 The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of small charities, yet their financial struggles have only worsened. Post-pandemic, small charities saw a £4.6B decline in funding, while larger charities experienced a £4.5B increase.

🏡 Grassroots organizations know their communities best, but they often lack the resources to compete with larger charities for funding. 79% of UK adults agree that small, local charities are often overlooked and under-resourced csjfoundation.org.uk/wp-cont…

💰 Despite their crucial role in addressing poverty, small charities in the UK are severely underfunded. Government funding has decreased by £413M since 2013, pushing many to operate at a loss. @CSJFoundation

📊 New report from @CSJFoundation reveals a stark imbalance in UK's charity sector. 85% of all charitable income goes to just 4% of registered charities, leaving grassroots organizations struggling to survive. #Charity #UKCharities

Without an address, it's hard to exist. Architect @chrishildrey designed @ProxyAddress as a system to redistribute postal addresses to people experiencing homelessness. Now the challenge is adapting it to local councils.

This recent article reminds me of @TomCrewe1's incredible piece in @LRB from 2016, The Strange Death of Municipal Britain: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v38/n24/…. A chilling article which has inspired me ever since. Public services don't lose money; they cost money.
