Third sector and charity workers

People in the third sector work tirelessly to address social issues, support vulnerable people, and create positive change. However, many third sector and charity sector workers face issues at work including demanding workloads, pay, bullying and harassment, mental health and more. That is where we come in! 

At Community, we are dedicated to supporting and representing workers across the third and charity sector, including people working at: 

  • Charities 
  • Not-for-profits 
  • Voluntary and community organisations 
  • Social enterprises

  • Think tanks 
  • Faith workers
  • Private research institutes and more
