Insights
In the midst of an epidemic, it is important that information is readily available. Charity Digital is committed to publishing relevant advice, guidance and other information to help charities continue operations.
We are living in an unprecedented situation.
As we take increasingly-severe measures to disrupt the spread of COVID-19, we must rely more than ever on our digital systems. Though we may have to isolate physically, we will remain connected, and those of us in the charity sector will continue to do whatever we can to support our service users.
As more and more charities move operations online, we will continue to publish guidance, news, resources and other content, designed to help you and your team navigate this difficult time.
Whether that content covers setting up and securing your digital systems, moving events online, exploring new methods of digital fundraising, communicating with supporters or taking steps to manage your team’s mental health, Charity Digital exists to help the UK’s charities #BeMoreDigital.
We will be publishing new content every day. This content will be designed to help charities continue operations. We will continue to advise on digital practice and recommend tools available to charities as the situation develops.
This article will list all of our relevant content, in one, centralised place. We will continue to update this article as we publish more content. We recommend that you bookmark this page if you want to stay updated.
