Helpmore Launches Trust Index To Highlight The Impact Of Small Charities In South Africa

10 March 2026, London, Helpmore, a charity founded by Ranmore Fund Management and registered in the United Kingdom and South Africa, has announced the launch of the Helpmore Trust Index, a growing online database of small charities making a meaningful impact in South Africa, helping donors feel confident their donations are making a real difference to charity beneficiaries.

While South Africa has many impactful grassroots charities, identifying trustworthy organisations can often be challenging for donors due to the fragmented nature of the sector. The Helpmore Trust Index aims to help address this by highlighting charities that demonstrate transparency and accountability.

The Helpmore Trust Index has been created to introduce the public to smaller organisations delivering tangible impact in their communities.

Sean Peche, founder of Helpmore and CEO of Ranmore Fund Management, said:

“Small charities, like small businesses, create jobs and generate economic growth. We can’t all create jobs by starting small businesses, but we can all create jobs by donating to well run charities, helping them to expand.”

Jamie Nye, Helpmore CEO, said:

“We want to introduce the public to the many wonderful, well run charities having a positive impact on the lives of others in South Africa. Only transparent charities that make it through our due diligence process will be included on our Helpmore Trust Index.

It’s a dynamic process whereby our team is continually expanding and updating the index and if any charity subsequently breaks our trust, they will be instantly removed.”

Helpmore is encouraging members of the public who have first-hand knowledge of effective grassroots charities to help grow the initiative by recommending organisations for inclusion on the Helpmore Trust Index.

Charities can be proposed for inclusion via the Charities section of the Helpmore website:
