Numerous local firms haven’t the ability to offer tailored philanthropy advice internally. As experts in giving, we’re here to help.

The UK Donor Advised Fund (DAF) Giving sector is experiencing rapid growth, with a remarkable 37% increase in 2022, reaching £868 million annually. Projections suggest that this figure is likely to approach £1 billion annually in the UK by 2023.
