- Our loyal supporters continued to support our fundraising activities and enabled us to raise £4.2 million to help fund our services.
- The Grove House Capital Appeal succeeded in raising £513,000 towards the cost of the redevelopment of the building while also raising awareness of the important support that Grove House will be able to provide.
