The long-term success of Friends Can will depend upon fostering a sense of collective ownership and inclusion.  It will be for the trustees of the charity to determine how best to do this, and we look forward to working with some clever and innovative people, but one important element will be easy-to-access information about the sums raised and distributed, and details about the projects supported. In short, transparency and visibility are key if we are to retain support and thrive.

Other initiatives  might include in-person events, local initiatives and reward-based giving.   The opportunities will be limited only by the ingenuity of those involved!
