Charity Excellence research highlight importance of local infrastructure organisations

New research published by Charity Excellence has given insight into the threats and challenges facing small charities across the UK, and how infrastructure organisations have become more important than ever.

Significant growth in small charities over the last 20 years means that Local Infrastructure Organisations (LIOS) such as KCSC and the Volunteer Centre K&C that support those small charities, are more in demand than ever. Financial insecurity however, amongst other issues means that LIOs are closing at an alarming rate.
