Alongside TheFSI's chair, NCVO will be hosting an online event on 20th April at 2pm to discuss the future of small charity infrastructure. Thank you to those who have already signed up. If you can attend, please book to join the conversation: booking.ncvo.org.uk/event/sessions…

This is really sad news, for TheFSI and, in a wider context, for the #Charity sector. More than ever we need to come together, and the loss of any vitally important charity is heartbreaking, especially at a time when demand for services is already soaring

The closure of the TheFSI will be a shock, particularly to many small charities.

TheFSI this was actually gutting, the work you guys did was so important and really helped me in my early days as a fundraiser, and helped the charity I worked with

So sorry to hear this. Such a loss for the small charity sector. Children's Helpers Worldwide benefitted greatly from TheFSI's trainings. I'm grateful to everyone who was part of the FSI and who made all the trainings and resources possible. My thoughts are with the team at the FSI now.

TheFSI I'm so sad to hear this, FSI training was hugely helpful for me when I got my first job as a fundraiser and opened up a world of charity expertise to me.

Heartbreaking to read this. Yet another valued source of support for #SmallButVital charities gone.

I am so sorry TheFSI . Thanks for everything you've done, and for all your help over the years. ❤️

Thoughts to everyone at TheFSI.

Our infrastructure has shrunk compared with a decade ago, but supporting a larger voluntary sector (@360Giving).

At a time when charities are struggling to survive/thrive, our sector infrastructure is more important than ever.

So sorry to hear this news of TheFSI - huge benefits to the sector delivered over the last 18 (?) years. Cranfield Trust we've been proud to work alongside you, supporting small #charities Good luck to the team in your next steps

Really saddened to hear about the closure of TheFSI
Solidarity with the staff team.

Coming almost a year after the closure of the Small Charities Coalition we need to think seriously about the appropriateness of support for #smallcharities

Big organisations trying to

so sad to hear TheFSI is winding up - my first ever experience of third sector training. Always insightful, always helpful and now gone. The sector is weaker without them. Solidarity with colleagues!

Very sorry to hear that TheFSI will be winding up. They have been a great source of support to many small charities for many years. Another blow for the sector.

TheFSI Very sorry to hear that. Thank you for all you work over the years. I'm sure you made a real difference to small charities.

I was lucky to partner with TheFSI for many years on #SmallCharitiesWeek and Media Trust's Digital Leadership Programme where their insights were invaluable. My thoughts are with the TheFSI team past and present, and the Trustees who had to make this very difficult decision 🫶🏽

We are incredibly sad to read this. The FSI has offered us incredible support and they genuinely understood the real capacity and challenges of smaller organisations. This is such a loss for the sector.

The trustees of the FSI are sorry to announce we have taken the difficult decision to formally wind up the charity as of Spring 2023. Please see our official statement for more details: thefsi.org/post/press-rel…
