WILTSHIRE Community Foundation’s report into its response to the pandemic has praised the work of charities who helped keep the county safe – but sounds a word of warning about the financial future of the voluntary sector. The report charts how it distributed more than £1.1 million from its Wiltshire and Swindon Coronavirus Response and Recovery Fund launched last March, days before the country went into the first lockdown. The community foundation made 265 grants to 199 different groups over 12 months, with more than 154,000 people benefitting. But joint chief executives Vicky Hickey and Fiona Oliver warn that a year of lost fundraising and revenue as well as extra expense has taken its toll on many groups.
