Girlguiding UK and The Scout Association
We have seen first-hand the positive impact these organisations have on their young members, their hundreds of thousands of dedicated adult volunteers and our communities.Sir Trevor Pears
Supporting organisations to do what they do well
Because we invest our emotion and interest in organisations we support, we build a real relationship, a proper, deep relationship that is forged over time around issues of mutual interest.
Sir Trevor Pears CMG
Core funding
We give core funding – unrestricted grants or funding for essential costs such as staff posts – whenever appropriate because we trust our partners to make their own decisions about what is most needed and where the money should go.
Long-term relationships
We view our grantees as partners and we value the way our relationships evolve and deepen over time.
More than money
The Pears Hub provides space for our partners to meet and work. We also offer organisational support and professional development, with a particular focus on leadership and supporting the individuals who make up their teams.
