How would you rate this funder's accessibility?
Excellent
This is a grant maker who sees the importance of a true partnership, not just funding, but understanding your work, supporting networks and building connections, and hosting a yearly conference bringing like minded organisations together sharing ideas, and learning from each other at the same time as running really beneficial workshops.
The team both in the office and the trustees are approachable and supportive.
How successfully do you think this funder is accomplishing its goals as a funder?
Excellent
i have never worked with a better funder in the 10 years of community work, their response and speed through covid and the cost of living crisis has saved many organisations and in turn changed 100,000s of lives.
Tell us one thing that this funder does really well
listening and understanding and seeing the bigger picture.

keep doing exactly what you are doing, supporting so many organisations and helping with connections and spotlighting work and lobbying for change.
