Small Charity Week 2024 is here, running from June 24th to June 28th. This week-long event celebrates the invaluable contributions of small charities across the UK and highlights the essential work these organisations do. Through activities like workshops and fundraising events, Small Charity Week showcases their achievements and garners support for these vital organisations.
