Mission And Objectives
OUR OBJECT
Gift Support Network object is the relief of need for the public benefit of people who are socially excluded primarily, but not exclusively by reason of financial hardship in the UK, Ghana and Nigeria by the provision of grants, goods and services.
Project & Programme Assessment Criteria
The Gift Support Network has a policy for assessing and selecting projects and the trustees’ grant making policy includes specific requirements for each type of organisation they may consider and criteria that all must meet. In the event that the trustees wished to consider making a grant to an organisation that isn’t a charity, they are aware of and would comply with the Charity Commission’s guidance on doing so.
Our Purposes
We will support the socially excluded whose needs are greatest, such as asylum seekers, the disabled, single mothers and their children. As a young charity, our trustees have taken prudent steps of first focussing on grant making, until such a time when we have secured sufficient funds to begin delivering services.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Social exclusion not only make worse by financial needs, but creates additional stress for individuals and may worsen mental health issues. Social exclusion and financial needs are inextricably linked. Financial needs not only impacts on people's health and wellbeing.
