It defines a small charity as one which has an annual income of less than £1 million. It collaborates with individuals and organisations in all sectors to provide small charities with support and development in the form of skill sharing, training and resources.

She described it as a delight and privilege to work for the organisation, and thanked John Barrett and his colleagues for building strong foundations. Julia Kaufmann, Chair of SCC, added: “This is an exciting time for the charity as we enter into a new strategic review period, positioning us to respond to existing and future challenges for small charities.
