We support projects primarily in the UK and Africa that have an identifiable end to them, usually at a low value. We are keen to support local sporting clubs and activities, charities working with young people or in deprived areas and projects encouraging self-sufficiency in the third world. We also actively aim to support charities with links to the legal profession.
