Small Charity Week 2027

Applications are now open for Small Charity Week 2027!

Small charities make such a big difference in our communities, and we’re proud to be partnering with Big Give and NCVO, for the third year running, to support the incredible work they do.

Taking place from 21st - 28th June 2027, Small Charity Week offers eligible charities the opportunity to access match funding, raise unrestricted funds and build their profile.

Looking back on Small Charity Week 2026...

In June 2026, Small Charity Week raised a huge £2,597,087. Supporting 253 incredible small charities doing vital work in their communities.

From 22nd – 29th June, every donation made through Big Give's platform was doubled thanks to more than £1.2 million in match funding from generous philanthropists, foundations and funding partners, including support from Postcode Lottery players.

In total, more than 9,500 people donated during the week, helping charities raise flexible funding they can use where it's needed most. At a time when many organisations are facing rising costs, growing demand for services and increasing pressure on resources, that support will make a real difference.

The campaign also highlighted the power of match funding to help small charities go further. As well as unlocking additional donations, it helps charities reach new supporters, build awareness of their work and connect with philanthropists, foundations and businesses. These organisations are at the heart of their communities, providing trusted, tailored support to people facing a wide range of social, economic and environmental challenges.

A host of ambassadors also got behind the campaign, including Ben West for Beyond, Dame Evelyn Glennie for Music of Life and Wolf Alice's Ellie Rowsell for Flynne's Barn. They were joined by Global presenters Chris Stark, Pandora Christie and Cat Cubie, who also showed their support.
