Our Research

Buttle UK aims to continually understand the issues that children and young people in poverty face, what support they need, and how the support we provide can help them most effectively.

Our Impact

We are committed to understanding the impacts of our grants, which we measure against our Theory of Change. This underpins all of our work at Buttle UK and helps us to make sure that our grants are as holistic as possible. Our measures of impact capture this through direct feedback from parents, carers, frontline workers, and children and young people.

Research Reports

As our organisation and grant-making grows, our ambitions for research have grown too. We are committed to conducting rigorous research across the many areas our work touches, drawing on our understanding of the challenges that children and young people face. We use this research to draw attention to serious issues and gaps in support, something that we are focusing on across our 2025-30 strategy.

Collaborate with us

We are embracing our 2025-30 strategy with a continued commitment to collaboration. This cornerstone of our work has seen us working with diverse organisations, building up our expertise through shared experience and open dialogue within the sector. We are keen to support others by sharing our data, offering training, and joining conversations across the voluntary, education and social justice sectors.

Our Data – 360Giving

We are proud to share our data on 360Giving, a growing charity which publishes data from national and individual grant-makers. Sharing our data on this platform supports our aims of accountability and transparency. Anyone can access and compare data from organisations like ours up to major funders like the NHS. We publish our data annually using the 360Giving Data Standard.

NPC Local Needs Databank

We work closely with New Philanthropy Capital to be a part of their regularly updated and interactive databank, which brings together key organisations undertaking similar work for vulnerable families. The aim of the databank is to understand the needs and services across the UK available to households in need.
