Five ways benevolent charities have supported individuals and families through lockdown

Since the beginning of the pandemic, benevolent/grant-giving charities have supported individuals and families through the lockdowns in many ways. Not only have they been providing grants to those struggling financially to pay for daily essentials, but they have also offered a range of mental health and wellbeing services to help people cope with the challenges lockdown has brought.

Welcome to ACO - for a stronger benevolence sector

We are the national umbrella body supporting charities that give grants and welfare support to individuals in need. Founded in 1946 we are a powerful and growing network of over 100 members, all joined by the common goal of offering support to help people in need.

Why join the ACO?

We are committed to supporting benevolent funds and charities that provide grants to individuals to enable them to better serve their beneficiaries and work more effectively.

We provide a range of services, events and opportunities for knowledge / best-practice sharing and collaboration amongst others within the ACO network to ensure charities can access support when they need it.
