Thank you to all the small charities out there for the amazing work you do, and to the many individuals and organisations supporting the sector.

This is really sad news, for @TheFSI and, in a wider context, for the #Charity sector. More than ever we need to come together, and the loss of any vitally important charity is heartbreaking, especially at a time when demand for services is already soaring

[Andy Ricketts @andyricketts]

The closure of the @TheFSI will be a shock, particularly to many small charities.

@TheFSI this was actually gutting, the work you guys did was so important and really helped me in my early days as a fundraiser, and helped the charity I worked with

[Catherine F @_Catti]

So sorry to hear this. Such a loss for the small charity sector. @CHWchildren benefitted greatly from @TheFSI's trainings. I'm grateful to everyone who was part of the FSI and who made all the trainings and resources possible. My thoughts are with the team at the FSI now.

[Rosie Oldham @RosieOldham8]

@TheFSI I'm so sad to hear this, FSI training was hugely helpful for me when I got my first job as a fundraiser and opened up a world of charity expertise to me.

[zoeamar @zoeamar]

Heartbreaking to read this. Yet another valued source of support for #SmallButVital charities gone.

I am so sorry @TheFSI . Thanks for everything you've done, and for all your help over the years. ❤️

[Amanda Tincknell @AmandaTincknell]

Really saddened to hear about the closure of @TheFSI
Solidarity with the staff team.

Coming almost a year after the closure of the Small Charities Coalition we need to think seriously about the appropriateness of support for #smallcharities

[Florence Jeffries @FlorenceJeffr10]

@TheFSI Very sorry to hear that. Thank you for all you work over the years. I'm sure you made a real difference to small charities.

[Jenny Walton @Jennyw_MT]

I was lucky to partner with @TheFSI for many years on #SmallCharitiesWeek and @Media_Trust's Digital Leadership Programme where their insights were invaluable. My thoughts are with the @TheFSI team past and present, and the Trustees who had to make this very difficult decision 🫶🏽

[Latin American Women's Aid - LAWA @LAWALondon]

We are incredibly sad to read this. The FSI has offered us incredible support and they genuinely understood the real capacity and challenges of smaller organisations. This is such a loss for the sector.

[TheFSI @TheFSI]

The trustees of the FSI are sorry to announce we have taken the difficult decision to formally wind up the charity as of Spring 2023. Please see our official statement for more details: https://t.co/mUtXl1YEYQ
