The Landmark Trust

United Kingdom

The Landmark Trust is a charity that rescues important buildings that would otherwise be lost.

We take on historic places in danger and carefully and sensitively restore them. By making them available for holidays, we make sure they can be enjoyed by all, both today and for future generations. We have in our care nearly 200 buildings in Britain and several in Italy and France.

Though they range from the sober to the spectacular, all our buildings are rich in history and atmosphere. They include picturesque pavilions and medieval long-houses, artillery forts and Gothick follies, clan chiefs’ castles and cotton weavers’ cottages, the homes of great writers and the creations of great architects, from Browning to Boswell, from Pugin to Palladio.

Fire Fighters Charity

United Kingdom

Fire Fighters Charity is the UK’s leading provider of services that enhance quality of life for serving and retired fire service personnel and their families. Our mission is to place beneficiaries at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that the fire and rescue community can rely on us as its primary point of contact for advice and support. We aim to provide practical assistance and solutions to make a real difference to the lives of members of the fire service community.

For more than 80 years, Fire Fighters Charity has stood side-by-side with the UK’s fire and rescue services community, as a trusted source of support through tough times, an independent shoulder to lean on and an enabler for positive health and wellbeing change.

While our core ethos remains the same today as it was when we were founded in 1943 – to help members of the fire and rescue services community to live healthier and happier lives – our organisation has evolved over the decades.

Today we support over 10,000 people each year. Whether through our centre-based programmes or our range of digital solutions, every year, we provide timely clinical care and wellbeing support to thousands of members of the UK’s fire services and their loved ones.

Our services help our fire heroes to adapt to physical and emotional injuries, illness and conditions, be fit for work, transition to life after their service and to feel valued and recognised.

Fair Credit Charity

United Kingdom

The Fair Credit Charity (FCC)’s vision is for a future where everyone has access to ‘fair credit’ – loans with reasonable interest rates, no hidden penalties and flexible repayments. Doing so, we believe, will help to alleviate and eradicate poverty and foster a society built on trust. To take practical steps, we founded the Community Interest Company (CIC), Fair for You, an ethical and responsible lender in 2015. To date 375,000 loans have been issued worth over £85m. The Charity still owns the CIC but wants to encourage more organisations like it.

To do that we need to influence financial, legislative and regulatory institutions to help create an ethical and responsible lending environment in which financially excluded people are better served.

We believe that financial services in the UK are prejudiced against far too many people and we want to use our knowledge and established experience of creating inclusive and ethical financial services to build an environment to enable all businesses serving financially excluded people to thrive.
