ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The yoar In context This year has been quite ￿MIlar to Ihe prevw)us fe4V years in that there was a lot of uncertainty. A new Govemment in the UK meant ch￿geS for us bLrt it was unexpected how m￿h the American goVernrr￿nI would impact our global partners. We continued to see challervjes created by the Cos¢ of L￿ing Crisis but the Govemment brought slability whKh saw a decline in reliance on the Staff Hardship Fund cc*npared to previous years. This dKI. however, result in the direel increase of Communty Grants and Match*unding Grants, as peop￿ retumed to fundraising and supporting causes in their Ic(al ecwnmunth"es. Granl-maker5 acTOSS the sector saw an increase in applications due lo organisations like USAID closing operations and others making signfficanl cuts. While we not see direct cuts to our partners, local partners they were cdlaborating with did suffer from these changes. This led to widespread uncertainly and c105ure of essential servw that had been swmng populations years in sc¥ne of the most negkcled parts of So Asian and Africa. Overall, we are pleased wrth the performance of our partners and grant streams during an uncertain time.
