Small Charities Coalition

I have been asked to expand on my profile. In it I made mention that I am part of the Small Charities Coalition and some people are unsure what it stands for.

Well to begin with what is a small charity. The SCC has defined it as a charity defined by its income as having less than £1million income per year.

The core objective of the SCC is to seek out the problems small charities face and find the best solutions via innovation, inspiration and leadership. This is based on the simple value so well defined by the Samaritan effect: “Don’t pass someone who is struggling”

The SCC is empowering small charities to enable them to unleash their full potential whiles building a bridge between large and small charities. With a vision that "No small charity should struggle in providing social change".

Our aim is to be the one loud and clear voice for small charities. With a goal to inspire innovation and provide leadership. We are building a sustainable framework of support that small charities use to help them achieve their aims. This includes speaking up for small charities, seeking out the problems they face and finding innovative solutions. By encouraging best practice we can promote small charities, provide advice, guidance, support, inspiration and praise and demand change if needed.”
