Our pricing philosophy: We agree estimates of time based on each client’s activities and, depending on the client’s requirements, can offer fixed-price contracts, fee ceilings, or charge for time in five-minute increments so that all of our efficiencies are passed on as savings. Each of our team members works with more than one client, taking responsibility for a specific area of expertise. Each role is charged out at an hourly rate based on the level of skill, responsibility and experience required. Tasks are delegated appropriately to ensure that the majority of day-to-day activities are undertaken by our experienced Administrators rather than Clerks. For a discreet discussion on indicative costs for your almshouse, please contact Elizabeth Fathi Continue Reading

“The Trust Partnership has for some years now afforded a supremely professional and supportive service to West Hackney Parochial Charity and West Hackney Almshouse Charity. They have helped us to embrace and adopt the principles of good governance where they might, in the past, have been lacking. They ensure that we operate a transparent grant-making process and that our meetings are run in an efficient, compliant and well-informed manner. Perhaps most important of all, they are always at the end of the telephone with expert help and advice and are reassuringly proactive in ensuring that, as charities, we are well run. I commend the Trust Partnership to you unreservedly.” The Reverend Niall Weir, Rector of St Paul’s, West Hackney “I am very reassured about all that you and your great team have done. On Monday, if I’m honest, GDPR felt like a barrier to doing the right thing. But havingRead the full article Continue Reading
“We moved the administration of the Foundation to The Trust Partnership a few years ago, and we have been impressed and relieved at the way they have taken over, with sensitivity, the handling of a varied portfolio of grants. They have worked easily with others who are involved, and taken over the burden of the financial administration, so that the Trustees can concentrate on what they are there to do, to fulfil the purposes of the Foundation.” Martyn Gowar, Chairman, The Ashley Family Foundation “The Trust Partnership has proved exactly the right administrative partner for our small but fiercely proud membership organisation containing two charities. Sensitivity, expertise and efficiency characterise The Trust Partnership’s professional service which has relieved us of an ever increasing administrative burden borne by a few volunteers. We are now free to concentrate on the fellowship that matters so much to our membership.” Sue Norman, President Emeritus,Read the full article Continue Reading
