Answer from Hansard

The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Lisa Nandy)

The last Government created a perfect storm for our charitable organisations, cutting their funding and attacking their right to speak, all while demand soared. This Government have reset that relationship through the civil society covenant, and we are currently working on ways to leverage more investment into local organisations.
