By the numbers – our 2024/25 year

10 November 2025

Over this past year, we’ve continued to support vulnerable people at home and overseas, while making progress to achieve our 10-year strategic plan.

In our 2025 Annual Report, you can see stories of people we’ve helped and our people who’ve helped others.

Our work and that of our wider Movement is only possible thanks to the time and effort put in by our people here and overseas.
