Funding grant from The Royal British Legion for STrengthening Families Programme

We have successfully secured funding through the Royal British Legion to enable us to deliver free of charge, the highly evidenced Strengthening Families Programme to families connected with local service bases, both currently serving and veterans, and those families within the local community of the service base, to help build relationships during times of extreme pressure and to ease some of the difficulties that can be faced due to the transient nature some families can face.

Chairman's Report

It is my privilege to present the Chairman’s report for the year 2017-18. Changes and challenges have come to be the hallmarks of our charity. This last year has demonstrated, without doubt, that our continued policy of flexibility and fiscal prudence, has enabled us to maximise our resources and remain secure. We continue to provide valuable help and support to the young people of Dorset, and most especially to those who are disadvantaged in some way.
