The support that Southside receives from Charitable Trusts, Foundations and Major Donors is critical to enable us to pilot new approaches, develop our services, provide targeted therapeutic support, reach more families in need and fund core services.

Since Southside was established in 1997, thousands of children, young people and families have been supported with the support of Charitable Trusts, Foundations and other kind donors. Thanks to long-term relationships, we have been able to develop impactful trauma-informed approaches to ensure that families can access the support they need to make positive changes, build resilience and overcome their difficulties.

We work closely with philanthropic supporters to report on the impact of their grant. We provide:

• evaluation progress reports on the impact of your philanthropic support on the lives of children, young people and families
• invitations to Southside events
• opportunities to visit, meet and talk with project staff and volunteers
• recognition in our Annual Review, on the website – or anonymity if preferred
