How we work
How we prepare a project
A campaign page says what the campaign aims to achieve, which stage it has reached and what information it is based on.
In short
The steps below describe how we prepare information about a project.

Defining the need
The description starts with a specific problem and its local context. Supporting records are kept separate from the public description.
Preparing an overview
The purpose, period, intended use of support and responsible person need to be clear. A public budget needs categories that can be explained.
Review before publication
Content, rights to materials and ways to contribute are checked before a campaign is presented as active.
Updates
A useful update explains what changed, what remains to be done and whether there are delays or changes to the use of funds.
Completion and learning
Results are explained against the original objective, together with any differences, limitations and next steps.
What a page’s status means
In preparation
Information is still being developed. It is not a public fundraising appeal and may change.
Published
The approved page is public. If you can donate to it, the page says so clearly.
Archived
The page keeps a completed action, with its date and context. The programmes themselves remain ongoing: activity schedules and volunteer roles are agreed with our team.
You can ask questions
You can ask how a need was defined, what information supports a figure or how a change of plan is explained. We welcome these questions.
Programmes describe our ongoing work, while the archive keeps past activities. We prepare the needs and budget of each activity with our team.
