Providing specialist support to charities by linking you with accredited advisors
At The Clare Foundation it has been a long-standing and ongoing objective to support charities with quality advice, through experience, expertise and skills not readily available to them. We are pleased to be able to offer a specialist team of advisors who are here to help and provide support across a number of areas including, funding, mentoring, marketing, leadership and much more.
What is the purpose of the CHAT programme?
- To link charities with pro-bono advisors who are happy to volunteer their time
- To help charities make meaningful links with experts that help build reciprocity and a better Buckinghamshire society
- To help charities to acquire the knowledge needed to enable them to be more effective, efficient and sustainable

How the CHAT programme works…
