"Welcome to our 2025 Annual Report.

At our annual January team training day this year, we declared our ‘North Star value’ for 2025 was Impact. Having spent the last 12 years consistently shaping our projects, people, processes, and culture, we have been committed to ensuring we are delivering to the best of our ability. Therefore, this year it was important for us to be able to identify and demonstrate the impact this has helped us have in the lives of our participants, through working with our partners and through our programmes."

OLM staff are really committed to their field and are very impressive.
