Organisation and Management
The COVID-19 Community Charity Appeal is being coordinated by the Social Investment Fund. This independent, non-profit organisation has recently been formed to enable significant sources of funding to be utilised for the benefit of the local charity and community sector.
Money collected through the COVID-19 Community Charity Appeal will be treated separately, and used specifically for the purposes of the appeal.
The Social Investment Fund is run by five Board Members, chaired by Jurat Stephen Jones, OBE, who has considerable experience of the charitable and voluntary sector.
