What a truly special and humbling occasion yesterday as our Founder & CEO, Philip Crawford, and Chair of Trustees, Caroline Crawford, attended The King’s Garden Party 🌸👑

Phil received an invitation in recognition of his work within the community through Core Foundations, Community Foundations Church, and the Parish Council.

This was not just recognition for one person, but for everyone connected to Core Foundations — our volunteers, supporters, trustees, church partners, colleagues and friends who work so hard to help bring hope and support to those in need. ❤️

Phil said:
“Wish I could have taken you all, as I know it is the volunteers and colleagues working so hard for everyone we are helping. I pray you will all feel proud that collectively we have been recognised for all the amazing work you are all doing.
Thank-you and praise God, for all glory and honour goes to our Lord and Saviour. Amen.” 🙏😇

We are so grateful for every person who supports the vision of Core Foundations and helps us continue Providing Homes, Empowering Lives.

Thank you all for being part of this journey. ❤️🙏
