View background information here and to view the application form click here. The closing date for applications is Monday 2 October.

London’s Lifelines & Christmas Food Aid
Christmas is crucial for food aid organisations – they need people to help provide for hungry Londoners and prevent surplus food going to waste. In the coming months, London’s Lifelines will be promoting food aid volunteering in London to help get enough volunteers for the busy festive period, and are looking for content to share. See this thread for more details, and follow their account for updates.

State of the Sector
The voluntary and community social enterprise sector barometer survey is back. From Pro Bono Economics and Nottingham Trent University, this survey seeks to understand the current state of the voluntary sector in the UK. The results of these surveys are always insightful, so please fill it out if you can.

Charity Commission Publishes new Guidance on Social Media
The intention is to help charities better understand how legal duties are relevant to the charity’s use of social media. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/charities-and-social-media

New Energy Performance Regulations

New regulations are going to be introduced to improve the energy performance of buildings. This could have an impact on both charity landlords and tenants. The National Council for Voluntary Services (NCVO) welcomes measures to improve building efficiency. This is an important step to address climate change and help manage energy bills. However, it’s important  for us to know if charities need support. Contact us if:

  • you’re a charity renting out non-domestic space for over 6 months. What are the barriers stopping you from improving your energy rating?
  • you’re renting. Have you experienced rent rises because of your landlord making improvements?

Email us at policy@ncvo.org.uk.

UK Shared Prosperity Fund

NVCO is working closely with ERSA and a coalition of over 35 employment and skills organisations to influence the delivery and future of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF).

The SPF was intended to replace EU structural funding but has left significant gaps in services. This is due to delayed introduction, much shorter timescales, and much lower levels of funding.

If your organisation has experience delivering EU-funded or SPF-funded services, we want to hear from you. Email us at policy@ncvo.org.uk.

NCVO takes over FSI’s assets following its closure

NCVO has announced it will be taking over the key small charity assets of the Foundation for Social Improvement (FSI) after it closed this week due to funding issues.

The company ceased operations on 2 May and transferred the running of Small Charity Week to NCVO, which it had already planned to partner with on the project. 

Longer-term management of FSI’s assets will be determined after NCVO works with others across the sector, it said. The membership body said it will announce more information in future. 

Low pay ‘all too common’ in charity sector, says union as RSA staff strike
A union representing staff at the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) has said exploitation of workers is “all too common” in the charity sector as its members voted to strike for the first time in the charity’s 270-year history. “RSA workers are fighting for fair pay, but their campaign is situated within a wider struggle in the charity sector against issues of low pay, overwork and temporary insecure contracts often with no opportunity of renewal, justified by a culture and expectation of self-sacrifice.”
