Our mission is to enable positive social change within the poorest and most disadvantaged communities in Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight by linking local giving to local need, through our professional grant making.
Our Values
Our values apply to all our communities. To HIWCF that means:

- Our staff, our trustees and other volunteers
We value:
