An organisation providing free help to small charities with problems has been set up for those with under £1 million donation income.

The Small Charities Coalition puts charities in touch with a volunteer from another charity which has faced and solved similar problems.  The time available for help is 24 hours and every charity applying for the help has to agree to supply similar help for 24 hours to other charities.

According to founder Patrick Cox the Coalition has three private funders, all charities themselves. www.smallcharities.com
