16th September 2025, online. In the current economic climate where fundraising from funders and the public alike is a tough ask, it is important that you sell your charity in the best possible light.

VCFSE News and Information
[NEW] Getting started with AI: A practical roadmap for non-profits
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming how organisations operate, engage with stakeholders and deliver their missions. It is fundamentally changing how organisations should be thinking about their organisations and their strategy. For non-profits, AI offers tremendous opportunities to enhance efficiency, improve member experiences, and amplify impact. But knowing where to begin can be challenging.
This guide from Hart Square provides a practical roadmap for non-profit organisations beginning their AI journey, helping you navigate from initial exploration to your first successful implementation.
[NEW] Using systems mapping to understand and tackle food insecurity
The Government statistics on poverty in the UK make for grim reading. Levels of absolute poverty increased in 2023 for the second year running, and the proportion of people struggling to put food on the table rose from 7% to 11% in just one year. This data also shows that food insecurity is, at its core, an issue of poverty – almost a quarter of people on low incomes are unable to afford enough food after paying for housing costs.
This blog from NPC, shares the findings of their work with Sainsbury’s’ Sustainability team to gain a clearer understanding of the causes and effects of food insecurity in the UK, and how we can use this information to tackle food insecurity.
[NEW] Smarter content and comms strategies for small teams
When you have a small team, every moment, new idea and piece of content that is created must count. Thankfully, you don’t need a massive budget or team to create meaningful, strategic content and communications. What you do need is a clear and focused understanding of both audience and organisational needs, as well as a culture of empowerment, trust and consistent ways of working.
This article from CharityComms, shows how embedding a series of principles and practices can help to support overstretched comms teams to deliver audience-first, brand-aligned content that drives results without burnout.
[NEW] Third Sector Podcast: Demystifying apprenticeship schemes for charities
In the latest Third Sector Podcast, Lucinda Rouse and Dami Adewale are joined by Gary Laybourne, Chief Executive of the sports coaching apprenticeship charity Coach Core.

He describes ways in which charities can offset the cost and commitments associated with taking on an apprentice, including through corporate partners and sharing a role with another organisation.
[NEW] Lack of succession planning spells potential ‘crisis’ for small charities, consultancy warns
A lack of succession planning could leave smaller charities facing a “crisis” as senior leaders step down amid today’s highly pressurised operating environment, a consultancy has warned.
Cranfield Trust’s recently published five-year review of assessment data found that the question it asked its more than 600 charity partners which consistently returned the lowest score was around succession planning for key roles.
At first point of contact with the trust, which helps charities develop their organisational sustainability and impact, only around 35% of partners expressed confidence in their succession planning.
[NEW] Focus on safeguarding when fundraising via online gaming, regulator advises
Charities have been urged to safeguard their beneficiaries and reputation by conducting due diligence when third parties raise money on their behalf in new guidance covering online gaming.
The advice from the Fundraising Regulator, issued ahead of its updated Code of Fundraising Practice coming into effect in November, forms part of extensive notes covering safety and wellbeing around online gaming events.
These events offer a growing source of income for charities, with more than $400m (around £300m) raised for charitable causes on livestreaming platform Twitch during 2024.

Devolution Update
Both of Cumbria’s Unitary Councils have written to government to ask that Mayoral elections get put back until May 2027 (rather than the current proposal of May 2026) – to allow more time to prepare, but also meaning that the election would take place at the same time as the next round of Council elections (which would mean a significant cost saving).

Sector umbrella body calls for greater involvement of charities in NHS 10-year plan
A sector umbrella body has called for charities to be more involved in the NHS 10-year health plan announced by the government earlier this month.
The National Association for Voluntary and Community Action (NAVCA) published a statement last week in which it urged greater involvement of the charity sector and “cross-sector collaboration” within the new 10-year plan.
It noted that the plan “seems to signal a shift away” from the charity sector, and described the reduction of Integrated Care Services (ICSs) as adding “a further layer of disruption, risking the progress made in many systems”.
Protect public trust gains when using ‘soft opt-in’ powers, regulator boss tells charities
The chief executive of the Fundraising Regulator has said that charities must carefully consider how they use new powers to contact supporters in order to protect public trust in the sector.
Speaking at the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Charities and Volunteering last week, Gerald Oppenheim said his organisation’s upcoming guidance on how charities can use “soft opt-in” powers to contact supporters would be “absolutely clear about the dos and don’ts”.
The soft opt-in powers, due to be given to charities through the recently passed Data (Use and Access) Act, will enable charities to send electronic communications to a person without their consent if certain conditions are met.

How to access government funding
Charities are being urged to take note of the UK government’s priorities for its grants and contracts.
Surveys, Research, Feedback and Reports
[NEW] Evidence repository: Tech harms and injustices 2023-25
Over the last two years, a growing number of reports and studies have shown how technology contributes to and deepens injustice and inequality. However, it has been difficult to find a clear, up-to-date summary of this evidence in one place. To help address this, Catalyst asked Shaf Choudry from The Riz Test to carry out a focused, three-day research project curating key findings from January 2023 onwards.
The result is a curated list of 68 headline statistics, quotes, and links to sources . It’s hoped this will be useful for organisations who needs up-to-date evidence for funding applications, research with communities, or future content, and the resource has been made open-source for you to use and adapt.
[NEW] DCMS research shows critical role of local infrastructure
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) have published the findings of a 12 month research project, carried out in 2024, on Local Civil Society Infrastructure (LCSI).
The purpose of the research was to develop the evidence base on LCSI in England by identifying the positive impacts of effective LCSI, the negative impacts of its absence and the conditions and approaches for building effective LCSI in areas where it is weak or non-existent.
This research is good news for local infrastructure and strongly supports the case for local, quality provision.
[NEW] Finance and funding barriers prevent charities from innovating, research says
Finance and funding are major barriers to innovation in civil society, according to new research which recommends that the government should share good practice in this area to promote investment.
Government-commissioned research published last week by the National Centre for Social Research and Behavioural Insights Team highlighted that at present, charities often viewed investing in innovations as “incompatible with their duties as charitable organisations”.
It added that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) could “actively promote approaches to investing that align with the ethos of charities”, through the likes of impact investing.
[NEW] New research report on Migrant Representation in Local Government Workforces
Social Equity Centre CIC is committed to breaking down barriers for first-generation migrants in the UK, focusing on their underrepresentation in the public sector. The report unpacks the barriers faced by migrants in accessing employment opportunities in local government and the challenges local authorities face in monitoring and reporting workforce diversity.
The report focuses on six of the UK’s most diverse areas and draws on insights from a broad range of migrant voices across the UK.
[NEW] Volunteering in England valued at £25bn a year by government research
The total economic impact of formal volunteering activity in England has been estimated at £24.7bn a year by government-commissioned research.
This represents an average economic impact of £2,012 per volunteer, according to the research undertaken by London Economics, Basis Social and NPC.
Reviewing activity in 2021-22, when approximately 12 million people formally volunteered at least once, researchers estimated the cost of replacing volunteers with paid staff would have been £16.4bn, equivalent to £1,339 per volunteer.
Most charities with Barclays accounts experience banking issues, survey finds
Most charities that have accounts with Barclays have experienced banking issues, according to a survey of trustees.
The Charity Commission reported last week that 58% of Barclays customers reported banking issues, compared with 38% of trustees generally.
Its survey of more than 2,500 trustees in England and Wales, conducted in February, found that overall, fewer had reported banking issues for their charity than in 2024 (42%).
‘Substantial growth’ in AI adoption as three-quarters of charities now use it
There has been “substantial growth” in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) over the past year, as more than three-quarters of charities are now using the technology, according to a new report.
The Charity Digital Skills Report 2025, published last week, shows that 76% of charities are now using AI tools compared with 61% in last year’s survey.
Moreover, the proportion of charities developing an AI policy has tripled since last year, from 16% to 48%.
Gap between charities’ income and expenditure cut as spending rises 10%
The gap between income and expenditure across the charity sector shrank in 2023 to its lowest level in five years as spending grew by 9.6%, new figures show.
Charities’ total gross expenditure reached £95.7bn as a result of the rise, while total gross income was £96.4bn, an increase of 6.8%, analysis of annual returns by the Charity Commission reveals.
“This reflects further broadening and deepening of the positive societal impact of charities, as they expend increased resources to deliver their charitable aims,” the report said.
One in five women in charity sector have been sexually assaulted at work, survey finds
More than one in five women working in the charity and not-for-profit sector have been sexually assaulted in the workplace, findings from a new survey have revealed.
In response to a survey of almost 700 female members of trade union Unite working in the sector, 22% reported that they had been sexually assaulted in the workplace.
Some 5% said they had been a victim of sexual coercion – when a person pressures, tricks, threatens, or manipulates someone into engaging in sexual activity without genuine consent – at work.
UK’s top 1% of earners donate £52 a month to charities, research finds
The government has been urged to boost high-net-worth (HNW) giving as research published last week reveals that the UK’s top earners currently make “relatively small” donations to charities.
Research by think tank PBE found that the country’s top 1% of earners made charitable donations of around 0.2% of their gross income, or a median donation of £623 a year and £52 a month, between 2020 and 2022.
PBE’s research was conducted for the second annual Giving and Impact Summit in London yesterday, at which civil society minister Stephanie Peacock said the government “recognises the vital role the impact economy can play in helping to drive stronger economic growth across the country”.
New research shows local, resident-led regeneration has doubled business growth in the UK’s most disadvantaged communities
A new report by Local Trust, Everybody Needs Good Neighbourhoods 2, provides compelling evidence that supporting residents to lead local change strengthens local economies, lowers child poverty and reduces crime.
The research builds on a previous publication, Everybody Needs Good Neighbourhoods, and is the first of its kind study of deprived neighbourhoods using long-term data. It compares the Big Local programme – the largest community-led regeneration initiative in the UK – with 29 similarly deprived areas without any neighbourhood-led initiatives (NBI) over a 15-year period.
The study finds that areas with neighbourhood-led initiatives have delivered statistically significant improvements where it matters most – including business growth, child poverty and crime.

Responding to the 2024 racist riots
In August 2024, the UK saw widespread racist riots targeting minoritised ethnic and religious communities. The unrest, falsely linked to a tragic event in Southport, was rooted in racism, Islamophobia, and misogyny. The government’s failure to recognise the true scale and underlying causes of the violence underscored the urgent need for collective action.
In response, the Race Equality Foundation, with partners Muslim Charities Forum (MCF) , the Alliance for Racial Justice, and NAVCA launched a sector-wide initiative in September 2024 to analyse these events, reflect on their causes, and support action to prevent future racist violence.
The new report outlines six clear and actionable policy solutions to address the root causes of the 2024 racist riots and build long-term community resilience.
Labour MPs post more about charities on X than other politicians, research finds
Labour MPs have mentioned individual charities more on X, formerly Twitter, than those from other parties over the past year, according to new research.
PoliMonitor found that most of the mentions of charities on the social media platform since the general election came from Labour MPs (2,347), followed by Liberal Democrats (457) and Conservatives (443).
It also reported that Labour MPs promoted charities that had criticised their party’s policies – such as Age UK, which has criticised its policy on winter fuel payments – more than those from other parties.
Faith and cultural identity ‘significantly’ influence in-memory giving, report finds
Faith and cultural identity play a significant role in how and why people give to charity in memory of a loved one, according to a new report by Legacy Futures and Smee & Ford.
Published last week, the In-Memory Giving in Multi-Cultural Britain report says that faith and culture shape the channels and causes to which people donate, with religious individuals more likely to give in memory than those who are not.
The report says that over the past year, over one-third of adults in the UK have made an in-memory donation.
