NGOs in the United Kingdom have had a tough time in the past two years.
Having taken a big hit to institutional income, due to reduced access to European Union funding after Brexit and a cut in the U.K. development budget, they are also feeling a squeeze on other sources of income because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tim Boyes-Watson, the U.K.-based global director of insights and influence at Humentum, which supports NGO core functions such as human resources and finance, estimates that the sector may have lost access to more than £1 billion ($1.3 billion) of funding in total.
