CAF comments on the Budget 2023
Neil Heslop, Chief Executive of Charities Aid Foundation, said:
"Half of all charities say they are currently worried about their future so we welcome the Chancellor’s announcement of £100m for local charities supporting families and communities through the cost-of-living crisis, especially as government support for their energy bills tapers off.
"Charities around the country continue to face rising costs, higher demand for their help and falling donations, so this recognition of their work is a step in the right direction. We look forward to hearing more about how this extra money will be targeted to those most in need."
