HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF VOLUNTEERS' WEEK

Volunteers’ Week is powered by organisations like yours, and now is your chance to shape it.

The Volunteers' Week team wants to know: what went well? What could they do differently? And how can future campaigns be even more impactful for volunteers and the organisations they support?

It just take a few minutes to complete the survey – but you’ll make a big impact.

SMALL CHARITY WEEK

Small Charity Week is in full swing, celebrating the organisations making a difference every day.

This week, we've been shouting about small charities' incredible work on our socials, hosting small charity assembly and so much more .

Now our trusted supplier, Roots HR, is joining the celebration, offering three incredible opportunities to help small charities excel. These include free line manager training, and 4 hours of free HR advice.

Beyond the bucket: How small charities are turning one-off card taps into regular monthly income

As we move closer to a cashless society, small charities face a familiar hurdle: "Sorry, I don’t carry any cash!"

But resourceful teams are finding stress-free ways to turn spontaneous cashless giving into predictable, recurring monthly income.

Recently named Best Supplier to the Fundraising Sector 2026 at the CIoF National Fundraising Awards, Give A Little is trusted by over 11,700 organisations to power their cashless fundraising. Its donor-focused software prioritises the experience through customisable branding, flexible giving amounts, and effortless Gift Aid capture to maximise vital funds - all with affordable, fair fees and no contract tie-in.

Give A Little's upcoming webinar is a chance to hear directly from three frontline organisations who've successfully harnessed cashless fundraising: 

• LEAP secured nearly 30 regular donors for their community larder in just a few months.
  
• Husky Rescue Ireland used Give A Little Tap to Pay technology on tablets to raise over €5,000 without needing a physical card reader.
  
• LionHeart used the Give A Little Champion App, which also uses Tap to Pay technology, allowing them to invite unlimited supporters to fundraise at events using their own phones.
