What people say about the Foundation
We don't run public appeals, so we haven't built up a wall of five-star reviews — and we're not going to pretend otherwise. New Capital Link Foundation partners with a small, carefully chosen number of causes, which means the honest voices we can share are few, real and directly connected to work you can verify. Below is the one third-party quote we have on record, alongside how our own leadership describes the approach behind it.
A voice from the ground
When the Foundation donated 50 specialised sleeping bags to CHESS Homeless during a severe winter cold snap, this is what a CHESS Homeless spokesperson had to say about it.
“With temperatures dropping well below freezing, these sleeping bags will provide crucial protection for rough sleepers.”

These are not independent reviews — they're Rachel Buscall, CEO of New Capital Link, speaking about how and why the Foundation does what it does. We think it's more honest to label them that way than to dress them up as something they aren't.
“We apply the same analytical rigour to our charitable work that guides our investment decisions.”
Rachel Buscall“The same skills that help us identify strong investments allow us to select impactful charitable partnerships.”
Rachel Buscall“These sleeping bags are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and could quite literally save lives.”

The complete CHESS Homeless story — including how the sleeping bag donation came together — is told on our Who We've Supported page and in more depth on our blog.
