OUR MISSION- TO CHANGE THE FUTURE
Changing The Future is dedicated to supporting the lives of others who have experienced difficulties. Not even a month after Changing The Future was established back in 2020 came the global pandemic and lockdown followed shortly after this. We embarked on our journey to "Change The Future" at probably one of the most difficult points in time but this wasn't going to stop us !. We were not even running a full year, 9 months into our journey and we were nominated and listed on the Social Enterprise Futures 2020 Roll of Honour.
The Roll of Honour acknowledges those individuals and businesses which over the course of an extremely challenging year, have demonstrated the strength, passion and resilience which is so characteristic of the social enterprise sector.
