GlobalGiving UK helps smaller charities working in local communties worldwide become more self reliant and sustainable. We do this through access to more funding (through www.globalgiving.co.uk), skilled volunteers and free training - using technology to maximise access and minimise cost. We work to get more money to our partners and for that money to be used in the best possible way.
