​We’ve partnered with The Fore who rigorously and transparently screen thousands of small charities and social enterprises (turnover under £0.5m) to identify those with exceptional leadership, innovative ideas and cost-effective solutions. The Fore then provides a wraparound package of unrestricted, multi-year grant-funding (up to £30,000) training, skilled volunteers, peer-to-peer networks and impact measurement.

Each month, representatives from charities and non-profits funded by the Fore will come and share their missions and the specific challenges and problems they are facing. As they scale up, they need and want our help. 

This is a unique chance for Brave Starts members to donate time, energy, expertise or insight to organisations we know are making a considerable, positive difference.​

MEET THIS MONTH'S SPEAKERS & CHARITIES:

Lisa Davis, Managing Director @ Changing Relations

​Changing Relations C.I.C. delivers education to schools, businesses and communities, using the arts to transform the way people think about gender stereotypes and relationship behaviours. Their innovative work breaks down gender barriers, fosters healthy relationships and transforms lives.

​The issues they address are in the news every single day - gender stereotypes, relationship behaviours, domestic abuse, sexual assault, consent, respect... Schools are short of cash but need their help to arm the next generation to do better than those who keep making the papers for inappropriate and harmful behaviour.
