It has been 100 days since lockdown began and in that time a huge amount has changed. Like everyone we have faced difficult times and tough decisions. But we have also found new creative ways of doing things. We have formed new partnerships and strengthened existing ones. We have continued to provide help and support for some of the most vulnerable people in society and despite all the uncertainty we have grown as an organisation.
We haven’t done this alone. Here we want to pay tribute to just some of the people who have worked with and supported us through this challenging time. So in the form of a poorly prepared acceptance speech at the Oscar’s we would like to say an incredibly huge thank you to…
