Tender Response’s Chosen Charity

This year, we have decided to split our support across two amazing charities, Gifts from Faries and Swings and Smiles, helping to increase local awareness and raise their profile. We’ve loved spreading the word about the organisation and have connected them with others who may need their services.

Tender Response has supported this wonderful charity in terms of people’s power and funding. Examples include complimentary tickets for our sponsored events, places at the events we’ve hosted, and funding training for selected individuals that benefit Gifts from Faries and Swings and Smiles. A donation of 10% of our profits at the end of term. 4 days of grant writing support and more.
