Charities and non-profit organisations play a vital role in supporting communities, often working with some of the most vulnerable members of society. But flu season can put real pressure on your ability to deliver those services. A widespread outbreak doesn’t just affect individual staff or volunteers, it can spread through your whole organisation, leaving gaps in service and putting those you protect at risk.

How Flu Affects Charities

Unlike commercial businesses, charities often rely on smaller teams, stretched budgets and the goodwill of volunteers. When flu strikes, even a handful of absences can mean cancelled services, fewer people available to support fundraising events and delays in critical operations. The risks increase when organisations work directly with vulnerable groups, such as older people, the homeless, or those with health conditions. Flu can spread quickly in these environments and can have serious consequences for those you support.

Volunteers are also particularly vulnerable to disruption. They may juggle charity work alongside employment, family responsibilities, or studies. If they fall ill, it not only reduces your immediate capacity but can also discourage future involvement. By protecting them through vaccination, you’re looking after the people who make your work possible.

The Role of Vaccination

Offering on-site flu vaccinations is a simple, cost-effective way to build resilience into your organisation. It helps keep your staff and volunteers healthy, allows you to continue delivering those vital services, and reassures your community that you take their wellbeing seriously. Even when someone who has been vaccinated does contract flu, their symptoms are usually milder and recovery is faster, meaning fewer absences.
