‘Below the Radar’: understanding some of the UK’s smallest charities

Analysis using 360Giving data to find and explore grassroots non-profit organisations operating at the local community or neighbourhood level. Such organisations are vital to UK civil society but often fall ‘below the radar’, and have previously been under-represented in research and statistics.

This paper demonstrates the value of data-sharing in bringing them into the spotlight. The report was funded by Local Trust and carried out by 360Giving and NCVO, and to accompany the report we wrote a blog on how we discovered some of the UK’s smallest charities.
