The chancellor’s autumn budget statement announced changes that will potentially have a devastating impact on the charity and voluntary sector. It is estimated that the sector’s total increased cost of employer National Insurance Contributions will be £1.4bn per year.

Charities are already in a dire situation, struggling to juggle the soaring demand for their services, while their own costs escalate and funding declines. The decision to increase employer NICs across the charity sector- and not to create an exemption – will be another major strain on their limited resources.

NCVO and ACEVO have issued a joint letter to the chancellor to outline their concerns for the sector. You can make your voice heard too.
