Fundraising Team

Our fundraising team works closely with colleagues in Guatemala to showcase our work to the world. We actively fundraise in the UK and the USA through a variety of grant making, corporate and individual donors.

In the UK our head office is based in Nottingham. The team manages fundraising, marketing, finance, events, volunteering and administration.

Every year many grant makers and trusts make our work possible. They provide the core support to keep all of our services operating. Plus, they enable us to put bespoke support in place such as speech therapy or preventative health workshops .

If you have any contacts within grant making organisations we’d love to hear from you.
