Partnership Grants

For the year ended 30 September 2024

Over the period of this report, we entered into the following new partnerships:

‘Epilepsy Positive’ Programme- Inclusion for Children and Young People with Epilepsy (CYPE).

We have also continued to support the following partnerships, through which we have directly supported over 1.8 million beneficiaries over the duration of our partnerships:

To empower people with mobility disabilities in Kenya to live independently by developing national wheelchair services.

 

This year, four of our partnerships came to an end. These were:

Training and establishing a network of Vision Friends.

 

Community Health Worker (CHW) Empowerment training in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Beyond the financial support provided by the Foundation, the support in-kind provided by CareTech Ltd staff to these partnerships is significant. Harnessing the expertise and skills of CareTech Ltd staff in this way often brings the partnership to life and our partners comment on how much they value this contribution. Over the
course of this financial year, this support in kind equates to just over eight days, at an estimated value of over £10,230 (compared to £24,428 last year).
