Charis is proud to manage the npower Business Solutions (nBS) Foundation which in little over a year of its launch has already garnered awards for the positive impact it is having on communities within the West Midlands and Yorkshire, where nBS has its head offices.
Charities, social enterprises and schools and universities can apply for up to £100,000 of funding with Charis’s responsibilities including software design and management, application assessment, award disbursement and governance.
The diversity of projects awarded is amazing: from a school sensory garden to a boxing gym providing employability coaching in a deprived neighbourhood; from the installation of solar panels on a church hall to full scale housing renovation and retrofitting for the homeless; from the installation of bee hives and provision of beekeeping training to prison education programmes.
As the npower Business Solutions Foundation is a hugely important initiative, we needed an experienced partner that could understand what we want to achieve and also collaborate closely with our team to ensure that the application process ran smoothly.
“It is vital that our grant recipients not only receive their funds in a timely manner, but that they feel comfortable and supported throughout the process.
“Charis ticks all the boxes. The team is excellent, making what could be a complex process feel seamless, and their quick delivery, professionalism and attention to detail means that the npower Business Solutions Foundation has already been hugely successful since its launch.
