New report from Locality - "We Were Built for This"
Locality's new report, “We Were Built for This”, highlights the vital role that community organisations have played in meeting community need and supporting people during the coronavirus crisis.
The report explores how community organisations have reacted and adapted to the challenges of the crisis.
When crisis struck, across the country community organisations were early responders, coordinating volunteers, delivering emergency supplies, supporting isolated groups, and finding creative ways to keep communities together.
Over 100 organisations contributed to the report, with input from community organisation Chief Executives and Council Leaders from across England. This includes seven in-depth case-studies with groups in Berwick, Bristol, Coventry, Grimsby, Hackney, Manchester and Thetford.

Charities are facing a £12.4bn shortfall in income for the year due to impact of coronavirus
The Chartered Institute of Fundraising (IoF) and Charity Finance Group (CFG) say that charities are facing a huge predicted loss to their income as they continue to grapple with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and continued social distancing measures.
The analysis comes following the publication on 19 June 2020 of the results of a recent survey of charities reporting financial loss and reforecasting of income for the year ahead. On average, respondents to that survey reported that they were expecting a reduction of 24% to their total income for the year, which would mean a £12.4bn loss of income if the average was applied to the sector as a whole.
