On Saturday 8th November 2025, we marked 30 years of our organisation at our Annual General Meeting.
To honour the milestone, we curated a special gallery of 100 images capturing memorable moments from the past 30 years. For those who couldn’t join us in person, the gallery is now available here on our website.
While no single collection could fully encapsulate the past 30 years, we hope that this selection offers a meaningful glimpse into our story.
We invite you to take a moment to explore and reflect on the journey we’ve had, whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or are just discovering our work, thank you for your support!
