Thank You, L’Oréal!

Our huge and heartfelt thanks to L’Oréal for funding the mailing of our Impact Report and Review: 2023-2025!

Our amazing volunteers and staff took up the challenge of the stuffing of envelopes, sticking on of labels and loading of boxes, for the mailout of our Impact Report & Review: 2023-2025 in February this year. Coffee and cake helped to fuel our team to finish the task, along with catching up and sharing stories as they worked.

We met L’Oréal through the White City Social Values Group, which is a collaboration of businesses and third sector community organisations, who endeavour to find ways to help one another to support the local community. Their ‘social impact programme’ includes helping the White City area, by supporting career development and work placement, and have now helped us with our logistics. Thanks to the generosity of L’Oréal, who very kindly agreed to fund the postage – we successfully mailed 1,200 envelopes to our supporters, grantmaking trusts, churches, schools, businesses and donors who support us.
