We're a small charity but we definitely have a big impact and want to share our learning and knowledge with other NGOs who want to follow the same path of shifting power. We don't just talk about what we want to do, we get it done.
Please see the three detailed role descriptions on our website for more information about our charity and what the role entails. We look forward to hearing from you.
