Helping hands together

Why support The Cranfield Trust?

The Cranfield Trust supports frontline charities helping some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people in our society. Our free management consultancy has a direct impact on the ability of charities to deliver quality services and improve their management capabilities in the longer term.

Our network of pro-bono professional volunteer consultants and our skilled project management team means that every £1 donated to the Trust has a value of £5 to the charities we support. We maximise the investment our supporters make in us and last year we were able to provide in excess of £1.5m consultancy support to charities throughout the UK making a real difference to people's lives.

If you would like to support us you can donate using your debit/credit card by clicking here. Alternatively you can can donate by texting the message CRAN10 to 70070 followed by £10. This is the maximum amount you can donate this way, but if you would like to give more, then do text more than once! We promise that your money will be well spent and we will give you news on what we have achieved with your investment.
