For us, a good organisation:

For us, a good organisation:

  • Delivers effective work and understands the difference it makes
  • Respects and listens to the people it seeks to support about their needs, and amends its work accordingly
  • Engages the talents of people who have experienced the problems it exists to address
  • Is well run, makes best use of resources and follows best practice (e.g. in governance, financial management, DEI, safeguarding)
  • Shares knowledge where possible and works in partnership, including in its particular geographical or policy area (e.g., to influence attitudes to a particular policy)

This is not a checklist but reflects our wish to work with partners who aim to follow best practice and achieve real impact. We are likely to be most interested in applications from organisations who are achieving or consciously making steps towards the above.
