Strategy
Ormiston Families has developed a robust and diversified funding base that underpins its wide-ranging services and enables the charity to respond flexibly to increasing and often complex demand across the East of England. However, like many third sector organisations, it operates within a challenging funding environment, shaped by rising service pressures, evolving commissioner expectations, and increasing operational costs.
Over the past year, the organisation has prioritised financial resilience, innovation in income generation, and long-term sustainability. Further detail can be found in their Strategy Document.
In the financial year 2024–2025, Ormiston Families generated total income of approximately £7.6 million, supporting a demanding year of service delivery. Explore their Impact Report here.
