To what extent is your charity being affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 and what can companies do to better support you in this time?

Here at whatCharity.com we work to better connect charities with means of funding and support. We know that in times of crisis, charities are affected in many ways, and the nature of support is subject to change. For us to continue helping UK charities, we would love to know what your challenges are.

Is the widespread outbreak of COVID-19 affecting your organisation? If you are a registered charity in England and Wales, we want to know COVID-19 is impacting your organisation and how companies can continue to support you.

We want to champion your voice and enable company-charity partnerships to continue to flourish, despite global shifts. Help us work towards innovating new relationships so that you can keep up the great work that you do.

We are happy to promote charities that contribute to our research and who have a matchmaking profile via our extensive email database, our LinkedIn networks and our social media channels. All charities in England and Wales have a profile waiting to be claimed on our site. Find yours using our charity search engine at https://whatcharity.com/.

We are offering free matchmaking memberships until the end of June so that all charities regardless of size, can access much needed resources. As a thanks for answering our survey, we will donate £300 to a charity at random.
