Overview:
2024 has been a year of incredible transformation and achievement for our organisation. It also marked a significant milestone for me personally, as I stepped into the role of CEO, honoured to lead a team so dedicated to our mission. Together, we have worked to alleviate financial burdens, promote healthy living, and foster a stronger, more inclusive community. This year, we also take a moment to honour the memory of our late co-founder, Bill Deans, whose legacy continues to guide and inspire us. Bill’s witty humour, tireless work ethic, and unwavering commitment to our community remain at the heart of everything we do. His spirit lives on in our work as we strive for success and service to those who need us most.
Winter brought unique challenges, with rising costs leaving even working households struggling. Our doors saw queues of people seeking support, underscoring the critical importance of our services. Our holistic approach focused on supporting families through creative, practical, and meaningful programmes. As we step into 2025, I look forward to continuing this journey, building on our successes, and working alongside all of you to make an even greater difference.
Thank you to Leanne for her outstanding leadership and support and for being part of this incredible mission.
In this report, you will discover the successes and achievements of our volunteers, members, and staff — from securing employment to building lasting friendships.
