Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The closure of DSC is part of a trend that is gradually impoverishing the organizations that provide charities with practical support, skills, and governance guidance. Unwin called on funders to increase their support for these infrastructure organizations to mitigate the sector-wide impact.
