The category recognises partnerships between a company and a charity. [CONFIRM: the official description of the category]

The partnership

[CONFIRM: a short factual description of the work with Mercy Ships that may be published, including what was delivered and over what period]

Our work with charities follows the same pattern in each case: measure what international payments are actually costing, invite authorised providers to compete for the business, support the charity through onboarding, and keep checking the rates afterwards.

What was said at the time

"Our work with Mercy Ships showcases our social offering and capabilities and brings us one charity closer to fulfilling our ten-year goal of being the global directory for advising all INGOs on how to improve the way they send and receive international funding, in turn helping save tens of millions of pounds for the sector. Great to see that hard work pays off and we all have our fingers crossed for the big event!"

— Curtis Noble, Head of CSR, 2021

Since then

The service has continued to work with charities and NGOs sending money overseas, on the same basis: independent advice, a competitive tender, and every rate checked against the market.

If your charity pays partners abroad and has never had those payments independently reviewed, we would be glad to talk. [CONFIRM: how the initial review may be described]
