They continue to support our work, and through successive contracts with Reading’s Infrastructure organizations, have funded the work of our Independent Assessor in assessing our member organizations against the Standard.

Our funding
We were very grateful to The Earley Charity for supporting us as we transitioned from Project to Independent Charity. Our funding from the Earley Charity has now ceased but was vital in our early development.
The Earley Charity is one of the largest local grant-making charities in central southern England. Its object is the relief of need among elderly, disabled or poor people living in our area of benefit. The Charity’s terms of reference also make it possible for us to fund community, educational, informational, cultural, sporting, recreational and social initiatives
