Support for charities during the coronavirus outbreak

As with all organisations, the coronavirus outbreak and the measures put in place to mitigate its spread have had a major impact on the charitable sector.

Economic uncertainty has seen individuals and businesses review their finances and cut out what they consider to be unnecessary costs, including charitable donations.

Meanwhile, some charities such as those working with vulnerable children and families or with the NHS have seen a significant increase in demand for their services at the same time as their income is under the most pressure it has been in years.
