Partnerships

Twelve quiet partners.

A small charity cannot work in isolation. These are the bodies and neighbours who help us notice, decide, and deliver — most of them within a five-mile walk of the village hall.

Partner enquiries

If your organisation might quietly help us.

We are a tiny charity and very protective of our independence. We do not accept corporate-branded partnerships or campaigns. But where another charity, congregation, parish council, agency or local employer can help us reach a household quietly, we are always glad to talk.
