UKCF: Philanthropy 2023

UK Community Foundations have published their annual report Philanthropy 2023 which highlights the determination of UK communities to overcome the financial crisis and the root causes of social inequity through local philanthropic activities.

Increasingly, individuals and households are finding themselves in need of support from charities and funders – some for the first time in their lives. Philanthropy 2023 investigates the root causes of the rise in demand for frontline services and the barriers that charities themselves are having to fight through to provide the necessary support. 

Supporting communities in regaining resilience for the future is also high on the agenda for UKCF. CEO Rosemary Macdonald, says: “We have been working with the National Emergencies Trust to scenario plan future disaster preparedness and we remain an active part of the Voluntary and Community Sector Emergencies Partnership (VCSEP). We have also been working closely with local authorities, developing strong partnerships across the UK.”
