Joining the Welcome Circle is a vital and energising way to give. Throughout the year, you’ll be invited to see our work first-hand, with direct access to our Leadership and Development Team to discuss the impact your support is having on specific projects or charity infrastructure. You can get as involved with the scheme as much or as little as you like – and be as anonymous as you choose. Your donation goes a long way in a small charity like ours that doesn’t enjoy Government funding. 

For more about the Welcome Circle, details can be found in our brochure here.
