Sponsorship Impact Report 2020

The heart of our community

The only thing that was certain for us in 2020 was uncertainty; a year of demanding and ever-changing challenges. We’re acutely aware of the huge impact the fall-out from Covid-19 has had on businesses. Yet, in the face of this, our sponsors continue with their unwavering support of our boys and their programmes. Our boys have learnt a great deal from watching businesses adapt to new circumstances. It has been an invaluable insight into the importance of being able to move and change at short notice. We are not out of the woods yet. Covid is still very much a threat, and we could be back in lockdown again if we do not remain vigilant. But as a united community; we know we can get through it. We are very grateful to all the sponsors who came together last year and continued to support us. You are the heart of our community; our boys would not be able to have all their amazing experiences without you. Thank you.

Each boy at his best.
