ANNUAL REPORTS
“It’s been an exciting year at CRLLEN welcoming our new CEO Nicky Leitch, moving our office space, new employees coming on board, new challenges. As happens with all organisations, we had some staff changes, losing a few long-serving employees but gaining some incredibly talented new staff. We have streamlined our staffing with our new employees fitting seamlessly into the organisation.
None of that could happen without you, our wonderful partners, and sponsors. Our results wouldn’t be as successful if it wasn’t for you all consistently and generously giving us your support to help the youth of our shires. Thank you all.”
