Thank you, TESCO Tavistock, for supporting us throughout 2025. Our foyer collections raised over £500 from shoppers, and your generous food donation made our Make a Difference members' Christmas party memorable—especially with Father Christmas's visit.

We are grateful to the Womble Bond Dickenson Foundation for providing funding to renovate our Drop-in Café, kitchen, and workshop spaces. These improvements will enable members to participate in a wider range of activities, supporting their general mental health and wellbeing.
