Sharing our work
We want to be as open-source as possible – we’re spending a lot of time trying to find the best (fairest, most considerate and ethical) ways to do things, and if our work is helpful for you then we’d like to save you time, so you can get on to do great things quicker.
Unless otherwise stated, feel free to use the resources below in line with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (4.0) licence (more info on how to use / reference this work here) so that others can find the original source.
As a charity, we have policies that define how we operate – and we explain our procedures for enacting these policies. We’re in the process of updating, finalising and signing off most of our policies for displaying online – so stay tuned, there’s more coming soon!

There are lots of useful templates and advice on the Charity Excellence Framework website (who have a very helpful newsletter!), NCVO.org.uk and others, as well as guidance on the Charity Commission website for various topics.
When we complete our projects, we report back to our funders to explain the impact we’ve had and our methods / reflections on what was successful. We hope this is useful for you in either emulating our projects – or just seeing how we write our reports!
Since this is describing work that we’ve carried out, the reports will be available to view in PDF, rather than being editable.
