Odd Arts Annual Report 2020-2021
Well, what a year. One which has felt overwhelmingly sad for so many reasons and for so many people. We want to take this opportunity to look back on the hope, resilience and achievements attained by our Odd Arts beneficiaries, staff and volunteers amidst such adversity. To reflect on the impact achieved during this time feels fantastic, but this has only been possible with the support and trust of our communities, beneficiaries and donors. Please take a minute to share our pride by reading the stories and projects from the last year.
