Charitable trusts and foundations

Since Refuge was established in 1971 many charitable trusts and foundations have made vital contributions to support our services.

Thanks to such long-term relationships, we have been able to develop innovative, integrated and sustainable services that meet the complex needs of the women and children with whom we work.

Refuge has a dedicated member of staff who works closely with charitable trusts and foundations to report on how a grant contributes to our work.

We provide:

• thorough monitoring of projects to highlight how many women and children are benefitting from the funded work
• regular reports on the progress of a project and our work in general
• a comprehensive evaluation at the end of a grant to illustrate how funding has made a difference to the women and children who turn to Refuge for support
• opportunities to meet and talk with project staff
• acknowledgements in our annual review, annual accounts and in supporter publications
