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 July-September 2026, so that residents know where and how to access support.  

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.
