Why every small charity should consider joining CharityComms
Celebrating Small Charity Week and the power of great communications
It’s Small Charity Week - a time to spotlight the amazing work small charities do, often on limited budgets and with stretched teams.
At olio creative, we know first-hand how challenging (and rewarding) life in a small charity comms team can be. We’ve worked in-house, juggling strategy, social, email, events, and brand — often all in one day.
That’s one reason we became corporate partners of CharityComms — the UK network dedicated to supporting charity communications professionals, from the smallest grassroots teams to the largest national organisations.
If you're a small charity looking to strengthen your communications, here’s why we think joining CharityComms (if your budget allows) is one of the best investments you can make:
Connect with a charity comms network
When you’re the only comms person — or one of a tiny team — it’s easy to feel isolated. CharityComms membership gives you access to a community of over 12,000 communications professionals who share ideas, swap tips, and offer solidarity.
Access practical charity communications support
From tone of voice guides to templates, training sessions, and trend reports, CharityComms offers resources made for the day-to-day realities of small charity communications. They don’t just tell you what good looks like — they help you get there.
Get inspired by other small charities
CharityComms regularly showcases examples of powerful comms from small teams — proving that impact doesn’t require a big budget. It’s a great way to gather ideas and boost your own strategy.
Stay grounded in ethical, effective comms
At its core, CharityComms is about helping organisations communicate with clarity, consistency, and integrity. That kind of support is especially valuable when your small team is spinning a lot of plates.
At olio creative, we’re proud to be part of this community. We believe thoughtful, strategic comms can transform how charities connect with their audiences — and we love working with small charities to help make that happen.
So this Small Charity Week, we’re raising a mug to the comms pros behind the scenes. And if you’re thinking about joining CharityComms? Do it. If your budget allows, it’s an investment in your work, your growth, and your impact.
