Hand in Hand believes in equipping people in situations of poverty with the necessary skills to help them break out of it. To do this,  Hand in Hand works in partnership with projects overseas that have been established by members of the local community, since they are the people who understand their situation the most. 

Hand in Hand helps these projects achieve their goals by raising funds and awareness throughout the UK. Hand in Hand fundraises in many different ways and are also involved in many different awareness raising activities locally, nationally and internationally.
