Hi everyone! As we enter the new year it seems like a great opportunity for everyone at TouchPoint HQ to say a HUGE *thank you* to all in our community, and especially our volunteers, for everything you have done to support our work over the past year. What we are achieving together is quite incredible.
TouchPoint was formed as a community wellbeing project in April 2021. Our idea was to see what might happen if we did something that invites our community to participate, collaborate, connect with each other, and work together for the benefit of us all.
- Three years later we are now impacting more than 2,000 people a week with our various projects in the area.
- We have more than 170 active volunteers, and over the past year they have given us nearly 20,000 hours of their time. This is an incredible contribution.
- The support we have received form our wider community has also been amazing and we are truly grateful.
Often that support comes in the form of small acts of kindness. For example in the lead up to Christmas we have been overwhelmed by your generosity in supporting our Kids Christmas Appeal, but also the various donations of gifts that have been brought to Touchpoint HQ. You rarely ask for thanks, you just do it because you are wonderful people!
Every single contribution adds up and together we are making a real difference. These graphics photo show how many projects we now have up and running, and some of the feedback that we have received this year from members of our community. Their words are humbling evidence of what we can achieve when we work together.
Thank you everyone!
