What type of information we have, how we collect it and why
We collect and hold information on our trustees: names, addresses, emails and phone numbers,
birthdates and notes of any conflicts of interest. We keep this information to provide it to the Charity
Commission and to keep a record of our trustees.
We hold information about those who support us, as collected from them when they contact us,
offer their details or attend a meeting in person or online for which they have registered: names,
addresses, emails and phone numbers. We keep this information to keep contacts up to date with
information about us, events and programmes of interest, and to encourage them to donate to our
work.
We hold information about those who financially support us: names, addresses, emails and phone
numbers; and records of their donations and grants. We keep this information to keep donors up to

money has been spent and to encourage them to continue donating.
Other than trustees, those whose information we hold have a right to ask that we properly destroy/
delete their information, which will do promptly. Financial records of donations and donors will be
held for seven years, after which they will be properly destroyed/ deleted. The contact person noted

with any other charity or business.
