Global Support Link

We partner with locally led organisations in the Global South by providing support and advice that helps them design, deliver, and fund their own sustainable responses to poverty, health, education, climate change and community development. GSL has partners in Cameroon, Nepal, and Nagaland (NE India).

We work towards a world where locally led organisations have the resources, knowledge and partnerships they need to lead lasting change in their communities.

Over the next 2–3 years, we’ll focus on delivering our purpose and living our values through six strategic priorities designed to strengthen our impact and our partnerships.

1. We are a resilient, well-governed charity with an engaged Board

We have the leadership and systems to consistently support our partners and deliver on our purpose.

2. We have a stable, diverse income base

We can reliably support our partners, thanks to our broad and growing income base.

1. We are clear where we add value, and we support learning between partners.

We are agile and responsive and help local organisations share knowledge and insights to strengthen impact across the communities we partner.

1. We mobilise and support skilled and committed volunteers who add value both to GSL and our partners

Our volunteering programme is ethical and partner-led, focused on adding value and building capacity.

1. We are a trusted and credible organisation with a distinctive approach

We are recognised by partners and funders alike for our respectful relationships, practical advice, professional staff and volunteers, agility, speed of response, transference of knowledge and commitment to locally led development.

1. We focus our efforts where we can build strong partnerships that can make a lasting difference

We invest in relationships where trust, shared purpose, and local leadership create the conditions for lasting impact.
