What difference will our contribution make?

Partnership funds go directly to enhance the supports we provide for our members, helping them to grow and thrive.

Charity retail is powered by its staff and volunteers and your contribution can help us to recognise, reward and support them in their work. Our awards, conference, networking opportunities and learning and development tools could not happen without the help of our partners.
