Our portfolio of strategic partnerships has been boosted with impressive new additions this year, including:
Youth Leads UK
Leadership Programme delivered to 72 care experienced young people in Greater Manchester and the North West. The programme will run from January 2023 to December 2025, offering positive activities to support growth, boost life skills and self-confidence. 32 young people have already joined the programme.
Motivation Charitable Trust
Empowering people with mobility disabilities in Kenya by developing national wheelchair services, raising care standards, and improving quality of life and inclusion. The outcomes will be a model wheelchair service developed at the university (JKUAT), training for future carers, and an improved referral, fit and follow-up system. So far, 234 care sector workers have received WHO Wheelchair Service Training Packages, 12 Community Artisans have been trained for wheelchair repairs, and 39 people have been fitted and issued with a wheelchair.
The Foundation’s Community Grants program extends support to address local community issues and assist CareTech Ltd staff members’ families and friends encountering significant challenges. During this reporting period, the Foundation has awarded nearly £95,000 in Community Grants to 48 local initiatives.
Further to this through the Foundation’s Match-Funding Grant, 54 employees were supported in their charitable fundraising efforts with over £20,000 in funding and the Staff Hardship Fund grants also provided 232 staff with grants totalling over £174,000 in times of financial strain.
“The African proverb has it that ‘to go fast, go alone but to go far, go together. This rings so very true for the Foundation. The Foundation’s success is entirely down to the efforts of all those who have served as trustees since we were first established, all of those who have worked for the Foundation, our incredible partners and the countless others who have supported our efforts. And, of course, these successes come from the vision of our founders at CareTech Ltd in establishing the Foundation in the first place, the company’s incredible generosity throughout and the myriad staff members of the company who have lent their support and encouragement to our efforts”
