Stewardship
Organisation

Stewardship is a leading UK charity Donor Advised Fund promoting generous and tax-effective giving.  Its award-winning Philanthropy Services team will partner with you to provide a personalised service that frees you from the complexities of making larger gifts so you can focus on supporting the causes you are passionate about. Services include social impact investing, legacy and estate giving, international grant making, research services and Stewardship’s innovative Donor Advisory Board, which uses the board structure to enable input from family, friends and advisers without the legal burden of charity trusteeship.

Stewardship was founded over a century ago by a small group of Christians who partnered to release generous gifts and financial support to Christian ministries. Today, we help over 30,000 people experience the joy of being generous stewards, giving more than £100 million each year to over 6,000 charities, 4,000 churches and 2,300 Christian workers.

Stonewall
Organisation

Stonewall is here to let all lesbian, gay, bi and trans people, here and abroad, know they're not alone.  We believe we're stronger united, so we partner with organisations that help us create real change for the better.  We have laid deep foundations across Britain - in some of our greatest institutions - so our communities can continue to find ways to flourish, and individuals can reach their full potential.   Stonewall works with individuals through a series personal and professional development programmes that enable people to connect with and influence others to challenge homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying. Through our Diversity Champions, we work with over 750 members across the public, private and third sectors to help them create inclusive and accepting environments for almost a quarter of the UK workforce. We campaign, lobby and fundraise to enable LGBT people to be themselves, whoever and wherever they are.

William Harvey Research Foundation
Organisation

William Harvey Research addresses areas of unmet need in pharmacology and the life sciences, with a focus on early-stage research in cardiovascular disease, endocrine disorders, genomics and inflammation.

We exist because funding is limited for early-stage research: very few charities focus on this.  Our research addresses many targets (for common and for rare diseases) where there is at present little or no effective treatment.

Statistics that put our research in perspective include the following: 60% of people over 65 in the UK suffer from heart disease; over 6000 patients are waiting to receive organ transplants, and these usually last on 10-15 years; 350,000 children’s lives are debilitated through heart conditions.

Innovative research at WHR is focussed on the advancement of knowledge and the development of new treatments, with the aim of improving these statistics. 

Our focus on early-stage, pioneering research is performed at world-leading pharmacology centre, the William Harvey Research Institute.  We advance medical knowledge, increase success in clinical trials, and create the potential for new treatments.

WHR’s robust financial model ensures 100% of all donations are used entirely to support research.

William Harvey Research comprises the William Harvey Research Foundation (the charitable arm), William Harvey Research Institute, and William Harvey Research Limited.
