This is the final edition of Look Forward this year and what a year it has been! We’ve had some very positive feedback about our Conferences and the Big Give Christmas Challenge is back - a great opportunity to double your donation at no extra cost to you! We’ve included a handy ‘What’s on’ article which outlines some of our plans for 2026. We would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our readers a very Merry Christmas and a happy and fulfilling New Year.
