Challenges deepening across the charity sector.
Rising demand, falling income, fewer volunteers, and growing regulation are pushing charities – especially small ones – towards crisis.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
