Our model prioritises trust, localisation, and community-led action supported by global learning to deliver sustainable impact.

An independent UK-registered charity, we benefit from being part of the global Good Neighbours alliance, an international humanitarian network founded in South Korea over 30 years ago. Together we reached over 9.8m people in over 200 communities in 50 countries worldwide in 2024.
