What does The Friendship Project do?
Supports disadvantaged children in need by 121 weekly meetings of 2/3 hours with an 'older friend', who is a volunteer. The child may have their own problems or the child may be in a family or care, that make it more difficult for the child to thrive. Aim is to improve the child's self esteem, allow them to have some fun and build confidence, plus widen their experience in a safe supported way.

Why is there no Clarity Score for The Friendship Project yet?
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history.

Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
