Independent: Nine out of 10 BAME voluntary organisations will close. Who will support us then?

Written By Charity So White

Last week, the Ubele Initiative revealed that nine out of 10 BAME-led voluntary and community sector organisations (VSC) are at risk of closure in the next three months. These are the very charities and grassroots groups working to support a community identified by the government and Public Health England as most “at risk” and “vulnerable” of contracting and dying from coronavirus. If we don’t immediately get funds to these organisations on the frontline, the picture looks even more harrowing for the BAME communities that they support.
