"We did it! It's nearly the end of 2020, and we want to extend a truly enormous (distanced) high five. It has been a challenging year for us all but, here at The Key, we feel truly honoured to have been able to see young people adapt and respond to the unprecedented times throughout the year whilst still making a difference through The Key Framework. All thanks to your support.

Despite its challenges, it has been a big year for The Key as we have welcomed new colleagues and continued to inspire belief in young people facing challenging circumstances in new ways due to the lockdown restrictions and subsequent social distancing measures.

Young people have shown their resilience and determination. We have seen them dream up and deliver projects that have benefitted the wider community and they've been a constant source of inspiration for us all.  Despite this, nothing about 2020 has made the future any easier for young people, already the evidence is showing those who already have it harder will be affected most. We all hope that the hoped-for vaccination blitz will mean we can all get back to full steam ahead to inspire young people to believe in themselves, achieve their potential and build the best possible future for themselves with friends and purpose.

We're looking forward to a less socially distanced future in 2021. Thank you for your continued support in 2020 and best wishes for the new year and beyond".
