Adderstone Foundation raised £153,740 in
donations, predominantly from individuals who
share the Foundation's values.
Zambia Humanitarian
Working in partnership with The Volunteer
Zambia Foundation (1136511) and Sport in
Action, the Foundation continued to support
enterprise hubs providing vocational training,
mentoring and skills development to over 1,500
young people across Zambia. The Foundation
also contributed to the continued operation of
improved welfare facilities at the Fountain of
Hope Street Orphanage in Lusaka, directly
benefiting hundreds of vulnerable children, and
maintained financial support for Zambia's
membership of the International Tennis
Federation, opening competitive and
developmental opportunities for young athletes
nationwide.
During the year, the Foundation organised the
collection of multiple drums of sports clothing
and equipment for donation to Zambia, in
partnership with Durham University,
Northumbria University and Royal Grammar
School Newcastle, ensuring that young people
in some of the country's most underserved
communities had access to the basic kit needed
to participate in sport. The Foundation also
hosted fundraising events at its London office to
raise awareness and funds for the Zambia
programme, bringing together supporters and
prominent figures connected to the work on the
ground.| Supporting Ex-Offenders in the North East The Foundation continued to support efforts to reduce reoffending and help individuals with criminal convictions rebuild their lives through meaningful employment. In partnership with The Recruitment Junction (1191442), the Foundation hosted events bringing together North East employers to shift attitudes towards fair hiring practices and highlight the social and economic benefits of giving people a second chance. This work forms part of a broader commitment that has seen over 200 individuals with past convictions employed across Adderstone Group, helping to break the cycle of reoffending while offering meaningful career opportunities and a future built on stability and confidence. Ukraine humanitarian The van, purchased and modified by the Adderstone Foundation in 2022, continues to be operated by the Yashchenko Foundation in extracting hundreds of refugees and delivering over £1m of aid to those communities impacted by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Sport and Community The Foundation provided health tracking equipment to Durham University Hockey Club, supporting the welfare and performance development of student athletes. A donation of £18,000 was made to The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity (1117794), supporting sport and wellbeing across the armed forces community, alongside a £1,000 donation to The Brain Tumour Charity (1150054) and a £2,000 contribution towards a community mural in North Shields. The Foundation also made office space and meeting room facilities available to various charities including The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, and The Personal Best Foundation (1200354), an organisation dedicated to making athletics accessible to disadvantaged children and young people, helping them develop skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of sport. Beyond its primary causes, the Foundation supported friends, colleagues and partner organisations in raising funds for local charities including Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Charity (1057213), Friends of East Cowton School (1062613), East Cowton Village Hall, and The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (209603). ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
