We believe all children and young people deserve to thrive, to build happy and fulfilling lives, and that small charities are essential in making this happen. Indeed small charities are specialists; the best are innovative, agile, and well placed in communities to help where the need is greatest.
However, not enough donors understand this: the top 5% of charities in terms of turnover receive 88% of donations in the UK.
The Mission
Our mission is to amplify the impact that small charities can have on the lives of children and young people by seeking out exceptional small charities to support, and offering donors a different way to support them.
We empower donors by delivering an experience that builds confidence and improves understanding, and creates positive reciprocal relationships. And by creating a platform of incredible - measurably impactful - charities, our donors don’t have the difficulty of having to choose just one cause or charity to support.
We’ve helped improve the lives of 538,679 children and young people since 2015. The funding we provide is a long term commitment. It creates solid foundations from which our charities can grow, increasing their impact on the lives of young people around the UK.
