Our impact

People, places and the planet are at the heart of our impact targets where we aim to create positive change and have a positive impact. The past year (2024) was successful in achieving our social impact goals and objectives and for many areas we recorded record breaking numbers for our charity.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our funders, donors, volunteers, corporate supporters, team members, and trustees for their invaluable contributions and unwavering support, which have made this year a remarkable success.
