We’re so proud of the work that we do. Because of you, our endowment at Quartet means we’re able to award a thousand grants every year. We have the privilege of making a difference to thousands of people in our local communities, changing lives today, tomorrow and forever. Here are some of the stories of lives we have touched through our work with donors to inspire philanthropy and on the front-line addressing social needs.
"It was really, really helpful. It really did help as we were really struggling that month." said one mother with a young family. We awarded Home-Start Bristol a grant to provide disadvantaged families with fresh food, recipes, information and support which will encourage healthy eating.
We’re working from home and committed to helping during the coronavirus crisis. Whether you would like to donate to help others, or if you are a local charity, community or voluntary group in need of support, we promise that we are here for you – now and always.

“We’re flexible so if we have an emergency we can ramp back up. We’ll respond if there’s a local lockdown or more job losses as furlough ends in October.”

"The Quartet funding has enabled us to create and distribute activity packs to the most vulnerable families in our local area with each pack containing a range of creative materials donated by local businesses that would otherwise have gone to landfill."
