Your impact in 2022-23

Find out how your support helped us empower engineers and their families to thrive in 2022-23.

Supporting more engineering families to thrive than ever before

This was a particularly significant year for our charity and community. As well as supporting more community members than in any previous year – against the backdrop of the ongoing cost of living crisis and growing international unrest – we also spent more time getting to know each other, so that we can better meet your needs and aspirations over the years ahead.

I’m proud of everything we achieved together during what was, and continues to be, a uniquely testing time for people across the world. No matter who you are – whether you’re a supporter, volunteer, donor, or someone who’s received our support – thank you for being a part of our global community.

Read our Impact Report today to see how our shared successes helped to ensure that no engineer or their family had to face life’s challenges alone in 2022-23.

“I don't know what I would have done without the support of the Foothold community. I’m no longer a burden on my family, which is a wonderful feeling. I am back to living a happy, contented life again.”

…and helped build their resilience to life’s challenges

"I still regularly attend Foothold's expert monthly webinars, as they help me understand how to better manage different areas of my life, such as my mental health and my career."
