Significant events
- “This year has been one of reflection, celebration, and forward momentum for the Amber Foundation as we proudly marked our 30th anniversary.”
- “This year, the Amber team succeeded in helping 147 young people move on successfully. 68 young people secured employment upon leaving our centres.”
- “Amid the celebrations, we also faced deep sadness with the loss of Eddie Jordan, our Patron and longstanding friend.”
- “We were also pleased to welcome a new trustee to the Board, Charlie Daniel, who brings a professional interest in AI and data, alongside a strong commitment to helping Amber grow.”
- “We also successfully participated in the Big Give Christmas Challenge once again in December 2024. This matched giving campaign doubles all donations made during a one-week period leading up to Christmas. Thanks to the generosity of Amber's supporters, we achieved our fundraising target of £100,000, which directly supported our work with young people during the winter months.”
