Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Tracey Crouch and Liz Twist

Thursday 14th September 2017 Commons Chamber

[Liz Twist (Blaydon) (Lab)]

T6. Blaydon has a growing number of small and micro-charities, many of which are trying to fill the gaps left by Government cuts to local authorities, and their survival is often precarious. Following the Secretary of State’s discussions within the sector, what action is she taking to help those charities with fundraising and other support?

[Tracey Crouch]

We are working on a programme to promote local and small charities later this year, further details of which will be announced shortly. If the hon. Lady has any particular concerns about small charities in her constituency, I would be happy to meet her to discuss them.
