Surely there has to be a better way of funding small charities? Our income is around £350k a yr & we have 35 different funders, all asking us to report back individually. @IVAR_UK @NPCthinks @DSC_Charity @SocialChangeAg @naomi_southwell - Can you help change the system?! 1/5 🧵 – at Yorkshire and The Humber, England
