Catch Up Project: helping reading
skills
|
ACT has supported a number of partners with grants and a range of input over more
than 40 years using its highly engaged 'hands on' grant making approach. Many
organisation's have gone from strength to strength since ACT's funding has ended and we
continue to be excited by their achievements and impact on the world. A few of these
include:
Here are details of some successful applications we have
received. They have in common an intent on integrity,
a desire to work constructively with others, and shared values
with the ethos of ACT.
Basic Needs
Basic Needs continues to grow and achieve outstanding results
with mentally ill people and their families. ACT had
already approved a £175,000 grant for 2003/4 and at
the end of the year agreed a further £50,000pa for three
years (conditional on satisfactory progress reports) for the
employment of a fundraiser.
Credit Action
Credit Action, a Christian charity set up to offer money
education particularly to young people, has been established
for several years, but needed additional financial support
to make a step-change in its activities. The Trustees
approved £180,000 of grant support over three years
conditional on satisfactory ongoing progress reports.
Digital Links
Digital Links is active in obtaining, updating and distributing
computers to developing countries. In 2004/5 it continued
to move ahead positively and ACT approved a further £50,000
grant for them.
Opportunity International
ACT supported the UK and European launch of the micro-credit work of Opportunity International in the late 80's and
early 90's. The work and success of Opportunity International continues today in more than 15 countries and helps
communities to help themselves through business development.
Not all organisations we've worked with continue today, some will have ceased, others merged and yet others evolved into something quite different but with a clear role, work and impact
