Coronavirus resources for charities and charity staff

A number of people and organisations have been gathering, producing and curating lists or collections of resources on particular elements of the novel coronavirus as they might apply to the charity sector. Here is UK Fundraising's collection of these collections.   1. Social enterprise, small charities and community businesses Sophie Hobson has produced a guide for the social enterprise, community business and small charity sectors to help them prepare for COVID-19.

Virtual networking events Although many conferences and training courses for fundraisers have been cancelled or postponed others have shifted to an online version. Others are switching to offering online-only events. These include: Institute of Fundraising North East's first virtual event on 23 March. "We'll be taking your queries and providing peer to peer support and expertise on topics including remote working, an increased focus on digital, turning mass participation events virtual and more!"
