Efficient Charitable Portfolio was set up by Efficient Portfolio, based in Seaton near Uppingham. Founder Charlie Reading said “Our clients are at the centre of everything we do, and we understand that charitable giving is something dear to many of the people we work with. Most people want to donate money to a wide range of charitable causes, but making the arrangements to give to multiple charities can be a time-consuming process, and this often deters people from making the contributions they would want. That’s why the team and I set up the Efficient Charitable Portfolio in 2013, to facilitate giving to a wide range of causes in an easy, transparent and effective way.This year we will be supporting the following causes: 

Standing Together Against Domestic Violence - Most public services weren't designed with domestic abuse in mind, and often struggle to keep people safe. Standing Together can end domestic abuse by changing the way that local services respond to it. They do this through an approach that they pioneered, called the ‘Coordinated Community Response’. Dove Cottage Day Hospice - providing day care services for patients with supportive and palliative care needs, living with advanced progressive disease. They offer a range of services, including Bereavement Support, Complementary Therapies and Family Support.  People often go to Dove Cottage frightened & with little meaning left to their lives. The peaceful and caring atmosphere is life changing. The Red Rocket Children’s Charity - which aims to relieve sickness and promote and protect good health for the public benefit. They do this through supporting, promoting and raising awareness of the Leicester Children’s Hospital (at The Royal Infirmary). Initially they support the work of the Children’s Intensive Care Unit, but have the eventual objective of covering the whole of the Children’s Hospital and, where necessary, supporting children’s hospital services across the East Midlands.
