Who are we?
We are Harington, a local charity which provides training and education for young adults with learning disabilities and/or difficulties, helping them to prepare for future employment, further education and community life. Harington is a registered charity (no. 279376) and company limited by guarantee (no. 1467946). The registered address is 55a Cholmeley Park, Highgate, London N6 5EH.
The organisation includes The Harington Gardeners, our own garden maintenance team, and the Harington Charity Shops.
Statutory funds do not cover the full cost of our services; we rely on the generosity of individuals, companies and trusts who donate funds, and on our volunteers who give their time to support the charity.

Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information
Harington’s internal server/computer system is protected by a firewall and encryption. Harington uses a variety of IT system, electronic storage systems, cloud services to manage and run its operations, for example the onsite server backup and Microsoft Office 365. Only services that meet GDPR requirements are used. All IT systems are password protected and only accessible by authorised personnel.
Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Transferring your information outside of Europe
Whilst it is avoided wherever possible, the information which you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Union ("EU"). By way of example, this may happen if we use a mailing list service whose servers are located in a country outisde the EU. In these cases Harington will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Policy.
