The financial impact of Covid-19 on the charity sector in 2020 will not be fully known until late next year, according to the Charities Regulator.
Helen Martin was speaking ahead of Charities Trustees Week which begins today. Now in its fourth year, the week is a way of thanking charity trustees for the work they carry out throughout the year, however, this year it will take place online.
Hundreds of charities have continued to offer services throughout Covid-19, despite the challenges of the pandemic. One charity on the front line is Depaul Ireland which added new services and adapted existing services to meet the needs of the most marginalised in society.
