Across the UK, many small charities face increasing financial pressures, forcing some to shut their doors. When this happens, it can leave the people who relied on those services without support – and volunteers and communities trying to step in and keep things going.
We’d like to hear from volunteers who have experienced a charity closing. Have you or others tried to continue the work informally and what were the challenges of doing that? Did you try to keep it going – and what difficulties did you face? What happened to the people who depended on the service?
