COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIR
“It’s been a really creative and diverse year, with DEED involved in many, smaller projects, with a wide range of new and exciting partners. First of all, we’d like to thank our small team of dedicated staff for all their hard work this year delivering inspirational and thought-provoking work to encourage us all to help make the world a better place with our actions, thoughts and words. Then, I’d like to thank all our partner organisations, for believing in us.
Together, we’ve made a real impact working with our local communities, as well as schools, and remain committed to increasing opportunities for all to learn about sustainability, diversity, equality and justice.
As always, we thank our funders National Lottery Heritage Fund; EU Erasmus+ programme; Dorset Community Foundation’s Dorset Welcome Fund; BH Coastal Lottery Community Fund; BCP Council Cultural Development Small Grants Fund; Poole Historical Trust; Wessex Water Foundation Environment Fund and the individual schools and community organisations that continue to buy in our services.
We also thank our consultants, volunteers and fellow Directors, who have worked so hard to support DEED’s work and enabled us to develop and learn together, producing a new Development Plan to guide us through the next 3 years.”
Ann Coleman, Chair of Trustees
