Islington Giving is generously supported by local people, businesses, trusts & foundations, and other organisations. Without your support, we could not continue to fund amazing community projects all over Islington. Thank you.

We are committed to the highest standards of fundraising and supporter care. We are a member of the Fundraising Regulator and are committed to the Code of Fundraising Practice to ensure we continue to meet the highest standards possible.

Our promise to our supporters is that your money is well spent. Because everything we do is local, you can connect with inspiring work, and with other people who are committed to making change in the borough.
