We have the great honour of introducing you to our freshly-delivered 2008-09 annual report which gives you a flavour of an incredibly successful year, with almost £6 million awarded to 135 very worthy projects.  Earlier this year we commissioned an independent assessment of the true impact of our funding on local communities and our environment.  The results were  truly remarkable.
