Many charities are struggling as the impact of Covid has interrupted usual fundraising activities. Donors are rightfully making careful choices on who can be supported as people struggle to help our more vulnerable brothers and sisters.
Being able to move help from A to B is without doubt the best way to ensure that those who most needed aid, get it as quickly as possible.
Amidst the uncertainty of this our time, the vulnerable are being adversely affected by the fact that most people are just trying to keep safe and so our eyes are not always on what is happening elsewhere. One group that is particularly at risk is young girls, some as young as one-years old!
