Yesterday we held our AGM at the Irenaeus Project in Waterloo, Liverpool https://www.facebook.com/TheIrenaeusProject - what a fab warm welcome they gave us! Thanks all :-)

The Trustees reported on last year (2025)'s activities for our charity - an unusual and quite difficult year, especially with the retirement of longtime Director,. Simon Foran.

Nevertheless, the financial report shows we're on a strong footing. Accounts and Trustees report will be viewable via the Charity Commission's website here https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/268745/accounts-and-annual-returns soon!
