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 Kensington and Chelsea, who support those small charities, are more in demand than ever, but financial insecurity amongst other issues means that LIOs are closing at an alarming rate.
The Kensington & Chelsea Advice Partnership is a group of local organisations (Citizens Advice Kensington & Chelsea, Nucleus & North Kensington Law Centre) working to provide information, advice & guidance services.
They have produced an up to date leaflet for April-June 2026, so that residents know where and how to access support.
This new programme from Dalgarno Trust and Fit For Life Youth is designed to support local residents in making healthier choices and achieving positive life outcomes, while also creating opportunities for skills development and progression within the health and wellbeing sector.
The programme will train 20 Health Mentors in health and fitness related areas, and support 100 local residents (“Health Buddies”) with personalised wellbeing goals.
Charity Film specialists The Saltways have produced a report and a set of guidelines on the use of AI-generated imagery in the charity sector.
AI-generated content risks re-enforcing harmful and inaccurate stereotypes, and create concerns around consent and privacy.
This new service, delivered by Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL) provides free, friendly, and confidential support for young people aged 9–25 who are living with or affected by alcohol or drug issues.
The focus is on overall wellbeing and prevention including sexual health promotion and greater whole-family support.
