UK charities need our support.
During these difficult times, people all over the world have joined together to help and support each other. Still, it is a reality that the sector is currently struggling.
The organisation, Probono Economics/Civil Society Media, released a survey, from 28 and 29 April 2020 on a 433 sample size, to monitor the impact COVID-19 has unfolded over non-profit organisations. See below for a summary of the findings:
- 92% of charities expected Coronavirus to harm their ability to meet their objectives over the next six months.
- 39% said the most significant negative impact of Covid-19 is social distancing and their ability to deliver their services.
- 31% claim that the pandemic had affected their ability to fundraise.
- 57% have had to reduce their activity in a significant way. Finally.
- 44% have experienced a significant depletion of financial reserves.
