Thinking of everyone affected by the devastating #Tsunami that shook the world 20 years ago today. In particular the four Halcrow project staff in Indonesia who lost their lives, and many more whose families, homes and livelihoods were lost in the disaster.
So proud to share our latest annual report. It highlights some of the incredible projects we supported last year and the people that made them happen. Helping us to sustainably improve life for around 8,000 people in Africa, Asia and the UK.

This is a great piece by TJ, who started sleeping rough aged 12 and now volunteers at a drug treatment centre. A good insight into their struggle to escape homelessness and being supported into work. Shared by our charity partner @ItsGroundswell
