First organisations to benefit from the Small Charities Challenge Fund announced
On Thursday 15 November 2018, the Department for International Development (DFID) announced details (opens in new window to gov.uk website) of further organisations to benefit from the Small Charities Challenge Fund (SCCF).
This follows an announcement made on 27 July 2018, about Monmouth-based charity, Bees for Development. They secured SCCF funding to deliver a livelihoods project in Ethiopia.
