About this listen

 What impact do smaller charities and community groups have? How can I be sure my donations to local communities will be used effectively? Do smaller voluntary organisations have a steer on the needs of local people?

Kent Community Foundation opens the floor to answer the questions you want to know about local giving. As one of the largest grant-makers in Kent and Medway supporting voluntary organisations with funding, Kent Community Foundation explores the work of small charities and community groups across the county, and talks about the rewarding experience funders can expect when giving to those who improve the lives of local communities.
