HAND IN HAND INTERNATIONAL JOINS BOND

Hand in Hand International is pleased to announce that it has been accepted as a member of Bond, the UK membership body for non-governmental organisations working in international development.
Membership of BOND will help increase the strength of Hand in Hand International’s voice on both the national and international stage. It will help the organisation to make change happen, by taking part in collective advocacy, lobbying and campaigning. This includes, representation to the UK Government and the EU international networks, such as CONCORD and globally through Global Call to Action Against Poverty.
Bond promotes, supports, represents and, on occasion, leads the work and interests of UK international development organisations, who are accepted after scrutiny. This is done through the exchange of experience, ideas and information and, as the UK network of international development organisations, supports members to strengthen the quality and effectiveness of the sector.
“The UK has a wonderful tradition of supporting international development, and Bond is a manifestation of this spirit as in the emphasis on global harmony and developmental work with integrity, passion and transparency. We are happy to have become members and hope to develop and learn together with the other members. “
Maria Borelius, CEO, Hand in Hand International.
