It’s Small Charity Week.

Small Charity Week celebrates and raises awareness of the essential work of the UK’s small charity sector who make an invaluable contribution to the lives of millions of individuals, communities and causes across the UK and the rest of the world.

The big name charities do brilliant work, but there are plenty of smaller ones which have a direct impact at a community level which cannot afford the publicity campaigns of the bighitters.

Here’s a selection of small local charities doing inspirational work who will appreciate your support whether it’s a donation, fundraising, volunteering or just spreading the word.
