Your impact in 2024–25

Welcome to your 2024–25 impact report

Your efforts allowed our team to continue delivering financial, health and wellbeing support to engineers and their families across the world.

Whether you walked, ran, baked or donated, used our free Wills service to leave us a gift for the future, or gave your story or your time – thank you. This report is for you.

You, like generations of engineers before you, made it happen and helped us to ensure that no engineer needs to face life’s challenges alone.

"In these worrying times we’re all facing, it’s easy to become consumed by anxiety, but Foothold gave me light and I’m so very grateful for that."

"Before I accessed Foothold’s support I felt like everything was outside of my control. But my diagnosis has helped me to learn more about myself, and has enabled me to approach my studies and career in a better way."

Thank you for supporting us.

Your kindness makes a huge difference to the lives of engineers and their families.

We rely on donations and gifts in Wills, as well as the support of volunteers, to deliver our life-changing work.

None of it would be possible without supporters like you.
