There has never been a time when NPC was more needed. We, like so many across the sector, are affected by the Covid-19 crisis, meeting greater demand with fewer resources coming in.
While frontline charities are responding on the ground to the challenges Covid-19 has raised, NPC is working behind the scenes to support funders to give where it will have most impact and to help the sector adapt and survive for the future. We are producing analysis and gathering data now that will inform our understanding of this crisis: in the short, long and medium term.
As with many other charities NPC has had to take the difficult decision to furlough a number of staff so you may find the person you are used to working with is not currently available. We are doing this in a way that will enable us to support philanthropists and charities to navigate the current environment whilst also helping to ensure the financial stability of NPC.
We will continue to champion the sector and those people it supports throughout this time.
