What we do

Today, we continue to help fund projects in Romania which are best placed to create real change in the country. Our main Romanian partner, Fundatia de Sprijin Comunitar, was formed by staff who worked with us from the outset. As a charity based in Romania, the FSC can ensure funds generated in the UK reach those who need it quickly and effectively.
As our principle partner we’ve worked closely with FSC since the 1990s who with our help and the help of others, have overseen and run countless projects that help communities most in need. FSC are “The leading organisation in the region providing an inspirational example and role model for other NGO’s on how to develop services within a poor community”.
The projects funded in Romania revolve around the community, and our efforts in the UK are similar. For decades we’ve opened and ran over 200 charity shops across the country, from short-term to long-term that focus on reducing operational costs and maximising the value of donations. As of 2023, we run a number of shops in the South of England and are always looking for more.
As well as our shops we rely on the generosity of both one-off and regular donations. When you choose to Donate Today, we guarantee that 100% of any donation from a member of the public goes directly to Romania. This is because our administration costs are both minimal and funded separately. Your donation would help fund a number of the projects we’re actively supporting today.
