Covid-19 has presented the charitable sector with a perfect storm. Organisations are struggling with a combination of:

• Sharply increased demand for their services
• Practical difficulties over delivering those services
• Significant loss of income.

As a result we expect thousands of charities to collapse, and sadly this will include many that have been doing great work. In this sector the strongest charities are not necessarily those that are the best run, it’s more down to the security of their income streams.

In these challenging times we have continued to be supportive of causes that we have previously identified and in some cases allocated additional funds.

This update covers a number of issues that The EQ Foundation has been helping to address:

• Early years intervention
• Environmental action
• Childhood obesity.

The EQ Foundation

Since its formation in late 2014, The EQ Foundation has awarded more than £800,000 in grants to a wide range of charitable and non-profit institutions. Our focus has been primarily on UK charities supporting education and employment for people from disadvantaged backgrounds. This reflects our desire to see social mobility improved.

A list of current grantees can be found on the Giving is Great website.
