ICYMI: I’ve been speaking to people across civil society for the @caf Giving Thought podcast🎙️ about their experiences of the coronavirus crisis, how it's affecting CSOs & how they are responding.
Here’s a brief thread on key points for me in the conversations so far:
Here’s a brief thread on key points for me in the conversations so far:
1) This is a potentially unprecedented crisis for many organisations, in terms of massive funding drops at the same time as increased demand.
But most are more concerned about the risks to those they fund/serve rather than themselves.

2) Many organisations will need short term help in the form of grants to weather this storm.
Additional support from funders/philanthropists is needed, but won’t be enough- govt support is urgently required #EveryDayCounts

With a continued lack of emergency funding to #charities who are continuing to provide advice, assistance & care to those who need it, whilst also suffering a huge reduction in their incomes, I've written the speech @10DowningStreet should have made this week. #EveryDayCounts
"We are facing the biggest crisis this country has faced in a generation. We have provided emergency support to the NHS, to businesses, to the self-employed. But now we need to support the real heart of our country. The embodiment of people coming together. Our charities."
"Charities are the lifeblood of our country. Stepping in where the state & business fail. People coming together to make this country a better place. They reflect your, the British people's, generosity, through your gifts of hard earned cash or gifts of time volunteering."
Yes it’s just gone 3am. I’m lying awake scared for the future of our sector. #charities are to society what bees are to the environment. We work away, often on the background, often unnoticed 1/
Everyone in society benefits from #charities and right now #EveryDayCounts in our fight for survival. Not for us but for society. Just like bees & the environment - we’re essential to society 2/
Who will be there for the self employed so badly impacted by #covid19? Who will feed the poor if our #FoodBanks close? Who will give advice & support if our @CitizensAdvice can’t survive? 3/
