We have recorded the data outlined in this impact report since 2017, after receiving funding from the Women and Girls initiative of the National Big Lottery Fund, to scale and extend our services. Previous years’ data is available on request and this page will now be updated annually in January, once the previous year’s data is available.
In 2019, we worked with communities and community organisations, education services, businesses, health and social services and the police across the UK and this was our impact*.
