Work and priority areas

The core priority areas for The Sundar Singh Foundation include the relief of poverty and sickness, promotion of sustainable development, advancing the education of persons in need and the promotion of human rights, equality and diversity across the world.

We achieve this by providing financial or other assistance to smaller charities that have developed a strong track record of working in this space. We look to support charities that ideally have:

• A robust management team with an outcome based culture
• Annual income less than £100,000
• 100% donation policy

We may also support larger well run charities with similar goals on a case-by-case basis.
