Support from trusts is vital to our work
Your trust can support a specific project, country, or area of work or you can allow us to use the donation where the need is greatest.
However you choose to support us, you can be sure your donation will save the lives of children around the world - and we ensure we keep your trust updated in the format you prefer.
We can use your own reporting form, provide you with updates and reports, set up regular meetings and phone calls, send you invitations to events, and organise visits to the projects you’re supporting.
We have a dedicated team who will help find a suitable project or programme to benefit from trust support - whatever the size of your trust:
-
£500 buys five bicycles to be used as "mobile libraries" for children living in poor suburbs of Albania’s capital, Tirana
-
£2,000 provides a community nurse in Ghana with a motorbike to help her to reach 10,000 children a year
-
£20,000 pays for equipment such as wheelchairs, walking frames and crutches for over 400 disabled children as part of a community-based rehabilitation project in Sri Lanka
-
£100,000 gives 100 children working in the glass industry in India access to basic health services and help them to develop new skills and learn about their rights.
“Regular feedback on the progress of relief efforts, and a demonstrable experience and understanding of the needs of the families affected, meant we were confident that Save the Children were well placed to deliver help directly to those people who needed it the most.”
Grahame Elliott, President of The Freemasons’ Grand Charity
How one trust is making a difference
We are working with Humanity First in Gaza to rebuild five schools that were severely damaged during the conflict in 2009. Humanity First made a huge contribution towards the renovation and reconstruction of these schools - allowing children to return to a much-needed routine and sense of normality.
El Khidir Daloum, our regional director for the Middle East, says: “We are delighted to be working with Humanity First - our two organisations share common values and a desire to help the children of the area get back into education and training. We are very pleased with the level of commitment Humanity First have made.”
