## **Objectives and Activities**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The promotion of the efficiency and
effectiveness of charities in relation
to their use of digital technology for the
benefit of the public by providing
software and through other means of
support.|
|Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The KindLink Foundation has continued to
provide free fundraising and
database software to a growing number of
charities, with an year on year increase of
over 500 organisations registered and a total
of over 1800 charities supported at the end
of December 2020.
The charities could benefit from a suite of
tools meant to improve their collection of
online funds and communication with donors
and other stakeholders. In a year of
considerable difficulties for charities across
the UK, organisations using KindLink
Foundation’s fundraising platform raised
over £1,220,000 (almost doubling the 2019
total) through the KindLink online platform.|

## **Achievements and Performance**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|During 2020, the trustees have focused their
work on two main areas of
activity:
1. Ensuring continuous support to UK
charities through the provision of free
online software, the KindLink for
Charity Platform. At the end of 2020:
a. More than 1800 charities are
registered on the platform,
+500 from the end of 2019
b. Organisations using KindLink
raised over £1,220,000,
compared to £658,000 in
2019. This is a particulalry
important achievement in a
year when the whole charity
sector struggled with a
combination of increased
demand for their services and
lack of funding.
2. Ensuring the Foundation has
financial stability over the long run.
a. Building on the work carried
out in 2018, the Foundation
acquired its first Payroll
Giving client and has
continued acting as a
donation distributor for private
and corporate donors in
exchange of a small
management fee.
b. The covid-19 pandemic had
an impact on the day to day
activities of the KindLink
Foundation, but the
Foundation is still in a strong
position to deliver on its
charitable objectives.|
