The Trust Partnership Ltd

Who we are

Philanthropic Foundation Management

The Trust Partnership is an innovative, fast growing and specialist organisation with a range of services for charitable foundations and almshouses..  With a flexible approach to our clients’ requirements, our unique infrastructure and specialist third sector expertise, we help our charity clients reduce costs and increase their impact.

Our services to charities include Administration and Governance advice, but at our core is an accounting offering that is key to the majority of our client relationships.

The way we look after our staff, our clients and other stakeholders is important to us, and becoming a Certified B Corporation in 2016 was evidence of our positive impact locally and on the sector as a whole. We believe it’s possible to be a good business and a profitable one at the same time.

To be part of this dynamic, thriving business, built on strong ethical foundations, do get in touch.

Our culture and values

In the ‘new normal’, where the working day is often no longer 9-5, why would someone want to devote some of their precious downtime to being a trustee? Well, in our experience, people choose to become trustees first and foremost because they have a personal interest in the aims of the charity. Perhaps not surprisingly, this is particularly true for trustees of family foundations, many of whom are acutely aware of the legacy and responsibilities that come with the position and are keen to continue the family tradition.

But philanthropy in the 21st century may look very different to when these foundations were set up. Trustee boards today are having conversations around opportunity and challenge that would have been unknown to previous generations. With, for example, an increasing awareness of climate change, and an understanding of the importance of board diversity, we find that trustees are very aware of the wider potential impact of their decisions. They use their skills, interests and, yes, even passion (especially passion, in fact), to contribute towards improving the lives of others. It is deeply inspiring – and humbling – to be a part of this developing process.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are excited that we’ve not only been able to build a thriving business, but to do so on strong ethical foundations. The way we look after our staff, our clients and other stakeholders is important to us. We believe it’s possible to be a good business and a profitable one at the same time. This would be great to add unless you have a fully written policy.
