Launching our 2024 Impact Report

Our 2024 Impact Report is a comprehensive guide for both newcomers and long-time community members, offering insights into our past and ongoing projects and the impact they've had. This report highlights our achievements in line with the ambitions set out in Our Direction 2023-2028 , made possible by the dedication of our community.
