Small charities need support too, but the organisations providing it are disappearing. A quarter of 700+ small and local infrastructure bodies closed in the decade to 2022. Help us scale the practical support we provide nationwide to meet that need. Give before the end of 2026 and CAF Bank will double your donation. There&rsquo;s &pound;25,000 available to match donations, so your support can go twice as far and, for eligible individuals, Gift Aid will turn every &pound;1 into &pound;2.25.
