If you run a charity, CIC or support good causes in Doncaster, South Yorkshire or anywhere in Yorkshire, there is a good chance you feel like you are constantly having to do more with less. Less time. Less people. Less funding. Less energy to spare.
Yet the need keeps growing, deadlines keep coming, and the pressure to deliver impact never slows down.
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. Most charities across Yorkshire are working incredibly hard but still feel like they are behind.
This is not a lack of passion problem. It is an isolation problem.
The Real Challenge for Most Charities Is Not Effort — It Is Operating in Silos
Charities and CICs across Doncaster and South Yorkshire are working hard. That is not the issue.
The real obstacle is that most are quietly struggling on their own.
Reinventing the wheel. Chasing funding without visibility. Delivering impact without the connections to scale it. Missing out on partnerships and support simply because they were not in the right room at the right time.
And the organisations that are growing faster and creating bigger impact are not always the best funded.
They are the best connected.
Collaboration Is the Game Changer — And We Have Seen It First Hand
At The Charity Hub we have seen what becomes possible when Yorkshire charities, CICs and socially responsible businesses collaborate with intention.
This is not theory.
It is charity partnerships forming inside the room that unlock services previously thought impossible.It is suppliers stepping in to solve immediate problems for free or at cost because they care about the mission.It is introductions that lead to new funding, additional volunteers, digital support, or community reach that would never have happened in isolation.
These are the breakthroughs that happen face to face. Not buried inside inboxes. And not by accident.
This Is Why The Charity Hub Exists
Our mission is to bring together charities and suppliers across Doncaster, South Yorkshire and the wider Yorkshire region. To create a space where collaboration happens naturally. Where real conversations lead to real action.
Over 450 organisations have already connected through The Charity Hub. More than £100,000 worth of support and resources has been shared across the third sector. Our events focus on practical growth, shared learning and unlocking what is currently out of reach when working alone.
And the next one is nearly here.
