Seeing is believing

Visiting organisations is illuminating and rewarding. We arrange and accompany your project visits, and you can find out more about a particular charity or community group, the challenges they face, the people behind the organisation and their plans. You can choose to visit before making a decision to support, to understand how they would use your funding, and also afterwards to learn about their achievements.

We brief organisations in advance on the purpose of your visit and we also help you prepare, considering the best questions to ask. Visiting two or more projects working in the same area can illustrate different approaches to solving community problems, and we spend time with you afterwards to review your visits.
