Local Charities Day (16th December 2016) is a new government initiative to put small, local charities and community groups into the spotlight, helping them thrive and demonstrate the great work they do in their areas.

The Office for Civil Society is contributed match funding to our #GiveMe5 campaign, which ran on the day. 

The campaign randomly matched 1,000 x £5 donations made on the day. 

We're proud to announce that over £23,000 was raised for 200 local charities through Localgiving on this year's 

Local Charities Day.
