STILL STANDING WITH THE SECTOR

View news and updates

We, along with a wider group of funders, recognise that the impact of the
covid-19 outbreak continues to have a significant impact on civil society
groups, and want to offer renewed assurance that we stand with the sector at
this time.

As covid-19 hit our communities we saw how the incredible work of civil society
groups helped people through the worst of times. We know civil society will also
be crucial to the recovery and renewal of our communities beyond the crisis, and
think it’s important to say that we’re not going anywhere – we’re going to be on
the side of communities and civil society for the years ahead.

We recognise that these are difficult times for everyone – personally and
professionally – and that there will be challenges ahead for us all. We are
strongest when we work together, so if you receive grant* funding from us we are
committed to:

 * Listening – we’re continuing to listen to the needs of our communities and
   civil society, and remain committed to the original pledges of the We Stand
   With The Sector statement on flexibility and responsiveness to these needs1.
 * Learning – we’re learning all the time about how we and civil society can
   strengthen our work together, and are thinking about how we can share and
   apply this learning2 so that we can continue to be effective funders for the
   future.
 * Long-term – we’re here for you in lockdowns, and we’ll still be here beyond
   crisis – we’re working hard to make sure our funding helps communities and
   civil society thrive now and in the years ahead, and will continue to be open
   with you as our funding response develops.

We’re proud to play our part in supporting the amazing work of people across
civil society – from before covid-19, through the crisis, and into the future.
We stand with the sector now, and always.

*This does not apply to commissioned services or contracts where there will be
separate discussions between commissioners and provider organisations.

 1. These pledges are: adapting activities (“we recognise that you may
    experience difficulties achieving some of the outputs or outcomes we agreed
    for your grant during the outbreak, and would like to be able to maintain
    our grant payments to you at originally-agreed levels during this period, so
    please have a conversation with us if you are affected in this way”);
    discussing dates (“we don’t want to add pressure, so if you think you will
    struggle to meet a reporting deadline please get in touch with us so that we
    can agree a more realistic time for you to get things to us wherever
    possible”); financial flexibility (“we know you may need to use your funding
    to help cover sickness, purchase equipment, or deliver services differently,
    and we will be reasonable if you need to move money between budget headings
    to ensure your work can continue”); and listening to you (“we are here if
    you want to talk to us about the situation you’re facing, but we’ll wait for
    you to call us so that these conversations are at the right time for
    you”). ↩
