Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 March 2026

Debate

Small Charity Sector

Contribution

My hon. Friend makes an incredibly important point; the young volunteers were also talking to me about that data point yesterday. One example is that the DCMS launched the voluntary, community, and social enterprise business hub last year, alongside the VCSE Crown representative. The hub contains a host of resources intended to support civil society organisations in finding and bidding for public funding. That is especially important for smaller charities with fewer resources to dedicate to seeking out such funding, and it is a vital source of information in our mission to encourage more civil society organisations into public sector contracts. Obviously, however, data is helpful across the board.
