**Pilotlight is a charity that recruits business high-fliers to donate their skills
to charities to create strong, sustainable organisations.**

Pilotlight, founded in 1996 by Jane Tewson, a co-founder of Comic Relief, helps 
small charities in the London area that are tackling the deep-rooted problems facing
disadvantaged people in innovative ways. To be eligible for support charities must
have a turnover of between £200,000 and £2 million. Selected charities must commit
to working with Pilotlight on the basis of an agreed three-year operating plan.
