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.

While we continue our valuable housing and outreach work with older people, our focus has widened to ensure every child under 12 has the chance to be healthy, happy and ready to learn. We are determined to narrow the Key Stage 2 educational attainment gap which is acute in our area. This report provides you with an overview of the strategy and statistics behind our efforts.
