Localgiving.com lets you find, learn about and give to local charities and community groups, even those too small to be registered with the Charity Commission or OSCR. Each charity or community group has been vetted by their local Community Foundation or by the Community Foundation Network before registering with Localgiving.com, so you can be confident that your donations are going to bona fide charitable organisations.

Both of Localgiving.com’s shareholders are registered charities committed to promoting local communities and helping them thrive by providing continuous support and recognition. Localgiving.com’s fee covers the maintenance of the system, processing of donation payments, and customer care. Any surpluses made by Localgiving.com are required to be given back to the two shareholders, both registered charities whose objectives are to encourage local philanthropy in the UK.
