Our Impact
2020 GRANT AWARDS
Together, and thanks to Gift Aid, we voted to award a total of £130,000 to our three charity finalists at our virtual grant awards event in June 2020. Over 90% of our 118 members submitted a vote, either live or absentee.
“We have been extremely humbled and honoured to have been chosen by your members for this grant. It must have been such a difficult decision, The Change Foundation and Girl's’ Network are doing such amazing and impactful work too. We are keen to get involved with both to see where we can support each other.
A huge thank you to everyone involved!”
Heidi Riedel, CEO Woman’s Trust, June 2020
