We were thrilled to be one of the 2016 Award winners. Kim Hughes – CEO said “It is fantastic news indeed and comes at such an important time for the Trust as we plan for our future. The work with Pilotlight over the next 12 months will give us the knowledge, skills and exposure the Trust needs to enable us to take a more strategic approach in developing our work and more importantly promoting our successes to gain further investment. We have a vision “Where ALL individuals have an opportunity to turn their lives around to improve society and to strengthen communities”.
