Driving change together

Why our partners matter

Although we have significant resources, we’re a small team working in a complex environment to create significant long-term change.

We cannot, and should not, do this alone. We know decisions are better made by those close to and trusted by communities wherever possible, so we work with a range of partners across England to distribute funds.

Our success hinges on working with partners to accelerate change, multiplying investment and improving the finance available to charities and social enterprises.

Across our work, we think carefully about where we can make a unique contribution, how we can best support our partners, and where we can amplify the work of others.

This means that the achievements represented here are the achievements of our partners.

We’re grateful to many individuals, organisations and networks – too numerous to name – for their significant contributions.
