Measuring our impact

Welcome to the St John’s Foundation impact report. Within this report, we set out the issues and challenges faced by under-served people in the Bath and North East Somerset community and demonstrate how our initiatives are helping to change lives, for good.

St John’s Foundation is a local charity dedicated to fostering an age-friendly community through housing and outreach services, helping older adults live independently for longer. Beyond our work with older adults, we support those who have reached a point of crisis in their lives, as well as working to create communities where children can grow up happy, healthy, and well-educated.
