Imagine walking into a charity office today. Phones ringing off the hook, volunteers stretched thin, spreadsheets showing a shrinking budget and the looming question: how do we keep going when every pound counts? This is the reality for charities across the UK, and 2026 isn't going to let up.
The combined weight of Covid lockdowns, the cost-of-living crisis, government cuts, and last year's National Insurance hike is crushing already stretched resources. Demand for support is rising, donations are falling, and many charities are being forced to make impossible choices. A September 2025 survey by Cadent and Thinks Insight Strategy revealed a chilling fact: more than half of charities fear they may not even survive the next five years.
The Perfect Storm of Challenges
Running a charity today isn't just about delivering outcomes. It's about surviving while supporting your teams, all under financial pressure that never seems to ease. Outdated operating models and per-user pricing for training are siphoning vital resources that should go straight to your mission.
A Different Path Forward
Peritus Learning offers a different path. We give charities like Achieving for Children, Barnardos, Big Issue access to top-quality online learning across the organisation. No per-user fees, and volunteers join for free. That's up to 90% savings on training costs without cutting corners. See for yourself…
"What really drew us was the fun way in which the compliance courses were delivered and the fact Peritus seem to be the only provider to offer an unlimited use pricing model, so we could use the courses to train everyone for one low cost fee, including our volunteers." – Group Learning Manager at Big Issue Group
Time to Fight Back
It's time to fight back against unnecessary costs. Reclaim your budget and put your resources where they belong: powering your mission, supporting your people, and keeping your charity alive, and thriving.
Take back control and be part of the change today.
