There are lots of ways to contribute, such as staff time, space, funding, or aligning and measuring existing initiatives.The BTQ Team will provide bespoke support to organisations engaging with the Charter, including advice to help develop plans and projects; access to relevant information to shape early thinking; and clear, simple signposting to existing services to support delivery.
