All To ether Now! Limited Re ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The main objectives and activities for the year continued to focus upon the publication and promotion of a free and unique new5 Service specific311y aimed at informing and helping people whose lives are affected by disability and long-term health conditions. This was achieved by= Producing four 32-page edition5 of a free publication. Maintaining a regularly updated intornet-based magazine at WWW.alltogethernow.org.uk. Coordinator's Report- Tom Dowling THERE'S 31ways Ilght at the end of the tunnel. That'5 what our patron, Mike Mccartney, stresses in the short. emotional video about All Together NOWI that's available on our website. Mike, brother of Beatle legend Paul, is speaking about the horrific motorcycle accldenl that left his son, Sonny, wlth life-changing injuries. Sonny, was just 26 when he was knocked off his bike. Tragically, it resulted in him having his left leg amputated below the knee. Tearful dad M ike says: 'He was on a little old-fashioned motorbike and the next thlng a BMW~ thud - into the side of him, took his leg off. 'Sonny, who is now strong, needed help, You know, it wa5 heavy, but the nicest thing in the world Is Sonny asked for help, took help, and he came out the other end. Sonny has since gone on to establish himself as a world-renowned photographer - following in his dad's footsteps, "That'5 why it'5 important to never ever give in,, Mike says. "There's always light at the end of the tunnel. That belief has, and still is. helping 50 many people get through dark and uncertain times. It's also helping us here at All Together NOWI The newspaper industry continues to be in freefall, with rapidly declining circulations and greatly reduced advertising revenue. Since we launched in 2005, hundreds of well-e5tablished regional papers have folded - and more will c105e their doors forever over the coming years. How we've kept going has been remarkable, and only due to long-standing partnerships with organlsations like Unlted Utilities and the Steve Morgan Foundation, plus a handful of generous grants and donations. But finding fund5 to continue operatlng, let alone develop the paper, Bet tougher. We expected an even tougher ride this past year. Sadly, we were right. Thlngs got off to the worse possible start when, like other smaller charities across the region, we10st the support of the Steve Morg3n Foundation. who 5Wltched their focus to helping larger organisations with an annual turnover we can only dream about. For 17 years. the Foundation. had worked with us to raise awareness about their unique grant-giving programmes to smaller, local charities and to families in need. They recognised the value and importance of the free All Together NOWI newspaper - especially to the huge numbers of vulnerable people who are also digitally excluded. The Steve Morgan Foundation page Ihat appeared in every edition wa5 one of the best-read Sections in the paper 3nd was jam-packed with good news storie5 about disabled people who'd been given life-changing equipment, and Erant5 that kept countless small charities alive and kicking. Ton years ago, the Foundation provided u5 Wlth our one and only delivery van. During the Covid pandemic, when it looked as though our days were really over, they came to our rescue with a massive £54K lifeline. They've been a massive player in our development. We were their longest supported charily, and we are immensely grateful. Losing them was a crushinE blow. More drastic cost-cutting wa5 called for, and we braced ourselves for what seemed like the Inevitable. Page 2
All To ether Nowl Limited Re ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 But, as what sometimes happens in life, things didn't turn out as bad as feared. We managed to publish a very special 19th anniversary edition, and during the autumn two letters arrived. The first, frorn the Anne of Duchess Westminster Fund informing us we'd been awarded a £IOK grant. Then came another £5K boost came from the Duchy of Lancaster Benevolent Fund, in recognition of us trying to reach and help those people who were not Dn the internet. Thi5 all helped to get us through the year. How this next one will pan out is anybody's guess. Our bank balance is far from healthy. Attracting new funding is going to be even more competitive. But, as always, we approach it with optimism . and we will again be looking for that glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
