Covid-19 funding for the voluntary and community sector

Help us ask the Government for urgent help
In light of the huge impact that the Covid-19 pandemic is posing now and in the future for the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE) in Milton Keynes and across the UK, we want you to join us in writing to the Chancellor to speed up and improve the Government’s financial support for the charity sector.
Combating Coronavirus Stigma and Discrimination
We cannot allow the COVID-19 to serve as a vehicle for racism or xenophobia. Hate crimes against Chinese people have soared in the UK during COVID-19 crisis. Asian people across the U.S and Canada are reporting more racist incidents and hate crimes. Together, we can help avoid discrimination and stigma around coronavirus.
Communications tips for groups during Covid-19
How we communicate has changed dramatically since the Covid-19 pandemic and since social distancing measures have been put in place. No more in-person events, meetings and much more online communication. How can you adapt to these changes? We’ve put together some tools, tips and guidelines to help.
Covid 19: Asylum seekers, refugees and migrants
The UK’s social distancing measures in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused unprecedented changes to individual and social lives. The lives of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants have been impacted in specific ways that often cause people to lose their homes, live in cramped spaces, lose access to education and support and are alone in a new country. Additionally, homes for hosting are difficult to find as residents self-isolate.
