Chief Executive Donal Watkin discusses what he hopes to achieve for ACO, as well as looking at what our focuses will be looking into 2020.
Foothold, The Institution of Engineering and Technology Benevolent Fund, exists to ensure that no engineer or their family need to face life’s challenges alone.
Our awareness campaign for ACO members One Day Changes Lives has had a new date agreed for 22 January 2020, with press activity to commence from 20 January.
The Association of Charitable Organisations is the national UK umbrella body for charities that give grants and welfare support to individuals in need. Founded in 1946 we are a powerful and growing network of over 100 members, all joined by the common goal of offering support to help people in need.

Helping Individuals in Need Report
This toolkit is intended for those running a charity that gives grants to individuals in need. Authored by Caroline Aldred and Clementine Cowl, the idea for this guide came out of the questions that arise frequently at ACO meetings such as ‘our trustees want to offer loans to applicants, but can we do this and what are the legal implications?’ or ‘how should we manage home visits?’ We hope that this guide will assist in finding answers to these questions.
