All charities must have a public voice, regardless of their size | Voluntary Sector Network | The Guardian: "as a smaller charity, we don’t have an advocacy team lobbying parliament for greater understanding of our work. We have minimal media power and no budget for large PR teams or television advertising. We rely completely on the goodwill of the UK public – goodwill that could be eroded by recent scandal and the mistaken view that small charities and big charities are “all the same”.

As with any business, mistakes can always happen and no organisation will be perfect. But the charity sector can – and must – do better to learn from them. "
