Celebrating our impact and achievements
We are thrilled to share our very first impact report! This marks a significant milestone in the journey of our charity, reflecting on all the incredible projects and initiatives we’ve been able to fund to make a difference in the lives of people across Cheshire and Merseyside. Since initially forming in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been working tirelessly alongside Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust and local communities to support our mental health and community services.
Just last year we introduced a dedicated charity team to strengthen our infrastructure and establish the groundwork for sustained success - and with the support from our NHS staff, we've made incredible progress within these 12 months.
Our impact report offers an in-depth look at who we are, why we exist, and how our mission drives the work we do. It details our accomplishments since our formation and highlights the communities we serve. From creating sensory gardens that provide calm, welcoming environments for patients and staff, to supporting staff initiatives like peer support groups and providing essential equipment to enhance our services, every project has been a step toward improving the lives and experiences of the people in the communities we serve; helping to provide support beyond the typical scope of the NHS.
One of the key features of this report is the collection of impact stories, showcasing the real difference we’ve made together. It’s these personal stories that inspire us to continue growing and striving to reach more people.
We’re also excited to share how you can be part of our ongoing journey. Whether it's through fundraising, donating, or spreading the word, there are many ways you can get involved and help us support as many people as possible. Your contributions allow us to continue transforming lives, enhancing experiences, and building a stronger, healthier community for all.
We hope you enjoy reading our impact report as much as we enjoyed putting it together. It is a reflection of what we’ve achieved, but also a vision of where we want to go.
Thank you for your ongoing support—we couldn’t do it without you!
