Billions of pounds will become more accessible to England’s most disadvantaged communities as the government sets out a new plan to deal with some of the most pressing and challenging societal issues across this country.
Despite £14 billion being donated to charity across the UK in 2025, the benefits have not been shared equally, News Cover reports, citing the UK government's official website.
London currently receives more than a third of all funding from the largest philanthropic foundations and four times the value of Gift Aid donations compared to the UK average.
The government’s new plan, Our Place to Give, aims to change that. By connecting philanthropic donors with local organisations outside of London, the plan aims to ensure that investment reaches the communities and people that need it most.
Backed by £1 million of government funding, the place-based plan will offer opportunities for match-funding, better involve philanthropists in funding programmes, and ensure their voices are brought in and heard as programmes are devised and implemented.
