Small Charity Week (SCW) 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.
This year it’s running from Monday 23rd June – Saturday 28th June and as Charity Insurance specialists, we can’t wait to get involved and help out where we can.
“Small Charity Week is a campaign that amplifies and supports the amazing work of small charities across the UK.“
This week, you can benefit from specially curated content, all based on the themes small charities said they needed support with, and all delivered by small charities and the people who understand them. The themes are:
Events
SCW are running a series of co-created events with industry experts across the week to fit in with the daily themes. Topics range from self-care and wellbeing in the sector to financial planning and stability.
View all of the SCW events here.
As well as their own timetable of events, SCW asked the wider sector, including big and small charities, infrastructure organisations, freelancers and businesses like WRS Insurance brokers, to register any events they were planning for Small Charity Week.

Free Webinar: “How to unlock your power to shape the sector”
WRS is proud to sponsor a FREE webinar hosted by Fair Collective. Small charities have immense, untapped power to shape civil society and directly influence funders and government, increasing resources and appreciation of their vital work.
However, in the face of unprecedented challenges, many small charity teams feel exhausted and on the brink of burnout. This webinar explores how you can move from powerless to powerful- rising to the difficult times we face.
