In order for this site to work properly, and in order to evaluate and improve the site we and other third party organisations with whom we work may collect information by using small files and other tracking technologies on your computer (for simplicity we refer to all such technologies as “cookies”). Over 90% of all websites do this. By continuing to use this site you agree to our using cookies as described below. You can opt out of the use of cookies by following the links below, though please bear in mind that if you do the performance and your enjoyment of our site may be affected.

What cookies are in place?

Google Analytics

Having as effective a website as possible really matters to us as a small charity. That is why we, like many other organisations, use Google Analytics to help us understand how you use the site so that we can improve your experience. These cookies track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit because by knowing this we can see which content is most engaging which helps us in planning future work.

Meta

We use Meta (Facebook and Instagram) to communicate with people interested in our work through both unpaid posts and paid advertising to recruit more volunteers. We want our limited advertising budget to have maximum effect so use cookies to measure the effectiveness of any paid campaign on Facebook. Cookies also enable us to target or exclude those who have visited our website.

LinkedIn

Like Meta, we use LinkedIn to communicate with people interested in our work through both unpaid posts and paid advertising. We want our limited advertising budget to have maximum effect so use cookies to measure the effectiveness of any paid campaign on LinkedIn. Cookies also enable us to target or exclude those who have visited our website.

From time to time we may update this Cookies policy. This may be necessary, for example, if the law changes or if we change the way in which we as a charity use cookies. If we do, we will publish the changes on this site and you will be deemed to have accepted the terms of the policy on your first use following the alterations.
