We have continued to reach out and have been delighted by the welcome we’ve been given and the huge interest shown. Amongst the strengths of the Fund is our ability to support businesses as well as community organisations; to take a long-term approach as well as meeting immediate needs; to stimulate creativity and innovation and to collaborate with others to maximise our impact. It is still early days, and we will evolve further, but we hope that our first two years – reflected in this report – have set the tone for the future.
