HOW WE WORK
From first conversation to responsible action.
1. Explore alignment. Understand the organisation's mission, beneficiaries and proposed contribution.
2. Check suitability. Review governance, safeguarding, legal requirements, financial controls and compatibility with the charity's approved purposes.
3. Agree a practical plan. Define responsibilities, permissions, outcomes and whether a written agreement is needed.
4. Share verified outcomes. Publish partnerships, photographs and impact claims only with appropriate consent and supporting evidence.
Important
Partnerships and proposed charitable activities remain subject to trustee oversight, the charity's governing document and any pending Charity Commission approvals. We will not describe potential partners as confirmed supporters without their permission.
