We have recently published an Impact Report with insights into how we are working with others, to help create change.

The environment for charities continues to be challenging and we are inspired by our partners, who remain dedicated to their core purpose with children and families.

We are proud to be supporting and using the Common Outcomes – A collaborative effort towards common outcomes for all babies, children and young people.

Detailed information about our grants covering the last five years can be found in an open and accessible format through 360 Giving.

We are also pleased to share the summary findings from a grantee perception review, finalised in early 2023, along with our response to the survey. We learned more about the experiences of our partners and other organisations, we've had contact with. Many thanks to all those who took part – your feedback was invaluable.

We have been on a journey of improving our transparency, accountability and diversity, following our random selection into the Foundation Practice Rating in 2022.

We then opted in, to help track our progress, and in 2023/24 were proud to have been rated 'A' overall (with A for Transparency; A for Accountability and B for Diversity).

We have taken note of the findings and have made three commitments to improve our practice for the future. The full report can be found here.
