Trustees. Annual Report-The Clrcle Learning Foundation {SC0523161
Forthe year ended 31 December 2024
From Professor KirstyThomson, Chair
This has been a year of foundation buildingior The Circle Learning Foundation. Sknce
achieving registered charity status on 10 February 2023. our work has focused on
developing the necessary structures, including our organisational branding, and
skibmitting funding applications to support our future programmes. While we werE
unfortunately unsuccessf ul in securing funding this year, these ellorts have been an
important step in clarifying our approach and strengthening our organisational
readiness.
During the year. the trustees have also worked to develop a clear long-term strategy.
This forward plan sets out our priorities and underpins our vision for delivery. We are
now firmly focused on 2026 as the anticipated start of our charitable work, ensuring
that the organisation is fully prepared and sustainable when activities begin.
The trustees remain committed to the objective5 of The Circle Learning Foundation and
are grateful for the support and guidance received to date.
Professor Kirsty Thomson
