The Report reflects a year of significant achievements in the development of the Foundation. During 2020, trustees continued delivering against three over-arching strategic priorities to ensure that the Foundation could deliver significant, long-term and sustainable impact on the issues about which the charity most cares:

• Promoting strong and cohesive communities
• Enabling young people to realise their potential
• Empowering women and girls

As well as delivering against core priorities through existing grant agreements, the Foundation has made important new investments.

This report covers the period up to the start of April 2021, a point in time when the world was still in the grip of a global pandemic.
