Who We Are
Since Meeting Needs was founded 22 years ago, we have raised over £2 million for vital charitable causes.
We believe in maximum impact and minimal overheads. Run by just one part-time administrator, more than 80% of all funds raised go directly to the causes we support.

Our Impact in Action
Small grants make a life-changing difference. Just this month, we committed £10,000 to fund six toilets and four handwashing stations at Kebele 20 Elementary School in Gondar, Ethiopia.
Delivered in partnership with UK charities Together We Learn and Children’s Voices in Action, this project will:
-
Provide 240 young children (ages 4–6) with modern sanitation facilities, replacing the open field they currently use.
-
Improve health, wellbeing, and dignity for students and staff now and for years to come.
