Reports and statements

2024 marked another milestone year. Following the release of our first-ever Impact Report at the beginning of our 30th anniversary celebrations, we launched a comprehensive review to understand and enhance our impact.

This included engaging with commissioners, the people we support, and the wider community.

We established an Impact Board comprising staff, individuals with lived experience, and family members, driving our mission forward with new Impact Statements and Impact Measures, which evaluate our work for People, Communities, the Environment and Engagement.

Together, we are redefining what success looks like, ensuring our work meets the growing and complex needs of those we support.

Measuring our social impact is more than a numbers game; it is a testament to the transformative power of our work and the value it brings to individuals, families, and communities.

All of our Impact work is underpinned by and aligned with our strategic objectives defined in our current organisational strategy, Plan B, which sets out what we will do to create a future where we are all connected and have equal opportunities to make our own choices and thrive.

Our second Impact Report reflects a year of growth, innovation, and reflection as we deepen our understanding of how we change lives. By tracking and evaluating the outcomes of our services, we are not just celebrating success but identifying where we can do more, do better, and ensure our mission is delivered with integrity and purpose.

In 2024/25, Brandon Trust continued to build momentum in delivering our Plan B strategy, ensuring that our work remained firmly anchored in our vision of creating a world where people of all abilities truly belong.

Central to this has been the ongoing development of our organisational culture, shaped and strengthened by our values. In 2024 we refreshed our strategic objectives and aligned them with our annual business plans, enabling us to remain focused, purposeful, and responsive to the evolving needs of the people we support.

Our results in 2024-25 demonstrate the strength of this approach. The quality of our provision, the measurable impact of our care and support offer, and our sound financial performance all provide reassurance that our priorities are the right ones. Together, these outcomes are helping us to build a more resilient and sustainable organisation – one that can continue to champion inclusion and independence for decades to come.

A particular highlight of 2024 was the celebration of 30 years of Brandon Trust. This milestone offered us the opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made since our founding: advancing the rights, independence, and wellbeing of people with learning disabilities and autistic people, and challenging barriers to belonging. It was also a moment to recognise the extraordinary contributions of our colleagues, volunteers, and partners, whose passion and commitment remain the driving force behind our success.

Fittingly, in this anniversary year, we once again demonstrated our agility and resilience. Despite challenges in the wider environment, our people showed determination, creativity, and compassion, ensuring that those we support continue to thrive. As we look ahead, we remain steadfast in our mission, confident that the foundations we have laid will enable us to grow stronger and to keep shaping a society where everyone is valued and included.
