What We Do at Humanity at Heart
Humanity at Heart is a small independent charity, formed in 1990. Our focus is still in Romania, and we support and work alongside our trusted partners to further the aims of the charity. Trustees visit the projects regularly and so we know first hand exactly how our funding is used and can see how lives can be changed for the better.We raise the majority of our funds through our charity shop in the idyllic Sussex village of Hassocks, at the foot of the South Downs.
