Thank you to every single one of our partners!
We have always benefited by creative and impactful support from funders that recognise the
synergies between our work and their ambition to tackle social inequity or to support more
effective use of resources and the circular economy.
Trusts and Foundations: shared aims
The funding we received from 57 Trusts and Foundations this year turned our shared vision
into real-world results, giving us the ability to plan and scale, and drive lasting, meaningful
change across our communities. Their advocacy helps to build our reach whilst their genuine
interest in our cause supports deeper engagement with our beneficiaries and an ability to
commit long-term. We’re incredibly grateful to every single one of them.
