Hello
In my role helping charities to make a bigger impact, I meet many ambitious organisations and groups working within communities across South West England.
Local charities work tirelessly to tackle the effects of the region’s challenges: the economic reliance on seasonal industries, a shortage of affordable housing, supporting an ageing population and connecting remote rural communities, to name a few. From my experience though, their vital work also demonstrates some of our region’s key assets - resourcefulness, enterprise and readiness to join together to achieve a shared goal.
So we're celebrating the impact of charities in the South West who are helping local communities to thrive and grow. This ethos shines through in the projects we have supported across the region - from converting a derelict foundry into a base for fledgling businesses, and extending a church to create a community space for a growing parish, to helping a community-led scheme develop much-needed affordable housing.
To help shape your charity's future plans, we have collected together some useful resources, including a fascinating Giving in South West England infographic, comparing giving levels in our region with those nationally.
If you're looking for help to deliver your charity's vision or to get a mission-boosting project off the ground, find out how we can help and get in touch with me today.
