Community volunteers and local charities will be essential to rebuilding communities after the Covid-19 crisis. However, many rely on income they raise through fundraising events and are worried about the future. Groups need help to cope with disruption to their services and change how they offer support to meet new and increased demands.

Our Community Enablers provide practical, expert support to local groups to help them access funds, recruit volunteers and deliver their projects. We want to help more grassroots groups adapt so that they can drive the recovery in local neighbourhoods and prepare for future emergencies.

£5,000 will help us support 10 groups to bring neighbours together to deliver practical action on poverty and the environment.
