Letter from the founder

This year has been a year of consolidation, building foundations for growth and starting to roll out our Power of 10 project across the country.

Thanks to our generous donors, we have been able to launch the Power of 10 app and realise our vision of growing nationally, in line with our new 3 year strategy. Several projects in the making have launched this year, including a new brand and look throughout our websites and social media, our Power of 10 movement, Translating Science project, podcast, workshops and more.

We summarise the year in our impact report on page 4, but for more details, please see our full impact report.

We were delighted to grow our income yet again this year, enabling us to welcome new full time team members as well as bring our projects to life. The first year we ran our Big Green Give campaign, we were delighted with the response from our supporters who came together to run events, fundraisers and crowdfunding to raise over £40,000. New and exciting partnerships are enabling us to reach new audiences, and our model is now allowing us to expand into new regions throughout the UK.

Looking forward

We started 2024 with a huge bang! The Power of 10 festival was an inspiring event for 200 young people and it was amazing to see our Cumbrian community of young people rise up to take action.

Next year, we will see festivals happen in regions across the country, as well as communities of young people nationally come together on the app. We will unite organisations across the environmental movement to engage young people in building skills to take climate action. In addition, our impact and engagement with young people is going to increase massively, running workshops and attending events nationally. We will be running campaigns to highlight the challenges young changemakers are facing, and advocate for better communication of climate issues and action in the curriculum.

We will continue to build on our work engaging the public in the latest science and inspiring changes in hearts and mindsets. Our sights are set on growth and increased impact, now we have laid solid foundations.

I am very grateful to our donors and the team who have made all this possible. I am excited to continue finding Another Way for society to live alongside nature together with you.

With hope,

Summary of the Chair of the Board

During the last year I have been delighted to see Another Way strengthen and deepen in many ways.

It has been a pleasure to see Amy and her team both evolve and grow with new team members coming on board who are adding immeasurable value to the organisation. With experienced skills focused on school outreach, fundraising and digital marketing the charity has seen an underpinning and expansion of reach across those functions.

An ambitious programme of work has been delivered over the past year with much focus on the Power of 10 movement and community. The Another Way Power of 10 team has added reems, digital of course, of content to the online hub enabling all the young changemakers to feel equipped and able to make changes in their own way. We are fully aware of the passion young people have for the environment and their futures, equally the challenges they face in taking action. Another Way is here to support and provide the space and resources for them to feel comfortable and safe in pursuing the life they want and deserve.

Reinforcing the work the Another Way team is delivering are a host of volunteers who contribute to many of rogramme, Workshops, Digital Awareness Packs for Teachers and the newly launched Power of 10 Podcast for example. A huge amount of gratitude goes out to all volunteers who are helping the charity achieve its goals and aims.

We have a significant number of funders, partners and advisors, a list too long to mention but they know exactly who they are. They are providing Amy with unprecedented input and endless valuable opportunities all of which are contributing to the development, growth and maturing of Another Way. This support and the dedicated team at Another Way are empowering young people across the country, and further afield, to encourage people towards care for others and protecting our precious planet.

Finally, I would like to thank the board of trustees which has also expanded this year. This team is providing a level of knowledge and guidance to Amy that is absolutely reflected in both the furthering of the charity and the development of Amy herself. Amy is an astonishing leader who is inspiring many many people to follow her lead, a lead that is embedded in passion, compassion and kindness.

I look forward to the year ahead with great anticipation of bigger, better and bolder things coming from Another Way.
