A new campaign has been launched to help the public understand the importance of charities to the national effort to manage the coronavirus pandemic.

The #NeverMoreNeeded campaign has been set up to make sure charities’ voices are heard and raise awareness of the work they are doing to help the country come through the crisis and recover.

The campaign is phase two of the #EveryDayCounts campaign, which called on the government to provide an emergency financial support package for charities after the National Council for Voluntary Organisations estimated that the sector would lose out on more than £4bn as a result of coronavirus.
