Sir Stuart Etherington, chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations has called for funding for charities to help prepare for a no-deal Brexit.

Etherington projected that charities would play a large role in providing an immediate response to communities in the event of a no-deal Brexit, and that they need the resources to be able to offer their expertise.
