Did you know that 96% of the UK’s 166,000 charities are classed as small? Working for small charities offers amazing opportunities. There’s lots of scope for learning and development as you have the chance to get involved in a bit of everything. You’ll have more autonomy and more sense of making a difference.

So, what can be a very rewarding role can also sometimes feel a bit isolating. So where do you turn when you need a helping hand, an ear to moan to or someone to celebrate successes with?
