Looking Ahead to 2018 Individual Funding
I’m sure you will agree a great deal of progress has
been made in 2017, however, as we look ahead
to 2018 we will not rest on our laurels. Our focus
continues to be on building resilience in people,
enterprises and communities. The need for the
support St John’s is able to provide is growing and
this will continue to be the case. Everyone at
St John’s feels a great sense of duty to use the assets
we have at our disposal to increase our impact year
on year.
For the first time this year, we have clearly defined how we will be a beacon
for organisations that want to work together to build a resilient Bath and the
surrounding area. We will do this both directly, and through our work with partners,
to ensure we develop connected communities where people are able to be part of
strong social networks. We will bring people and organisations together in order to
maximise the impact of a strong and collaborative sector and we will ensure people
know how to access the services they need.
RESILIENT
In 2018, we will increase the amount of funding we award to £2 million and we
will extend our reach to support more people than ever before. The year ahead will
also be an important one in which we will continue to progress our plans to deliver
some large strategic projects aimed at addressing the continuing challenges faced
by our communities.
On behalf of our Trustees, staff and all the people and organisations we support,
please accept our sincere thanks for the part you play in helping St John’s deliver
our vision and purpose.
