Demand for services is up and continues to rise but few charities feel sufficiently resourced to meet it, with less than half confident of their survival beyond the next five years, a report from Localgiving has found.

Localgiving’s latest Local Charity and Community Group Sustainability Report , presented to voluntary sector bodies including NCVO, IoF, DCMS, SCC, Lloyds Foundation and DSC on 26 April, is based on 686 responses from local charities and community groups, and highlights the growing challenges faced by many.
