As we come to the end of 2025, we want to take a moment to reflect on what has been an incredibly meaningful year for the Sheridan Group Foundation.
Although our official public launch is planned for Q1 2026, this year has already laid the groundwork for everything the Foundation stands for.
Behind the scenes, 2025 has been a year of action, learning, and most importantly, impact. We are immensely proud of what has been achieved so far and deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us on this journey.
Supporting Incredible Projects in 2025
Throughout 2025, the Sheridan Group Foundation has had the privilege of supporting a number of fantastic projects that align with our core values of community, opportunity and long-term positive change for good causes in Manchester.
From grassroots initiatives to larger-scale charitable efforts, each project we’ve been involved with has reinforced why this Foundation exists. These partnerships have allowed us to contribute to causes that make a real difference to people’s lives, whether through education, wellbeing, community development or essential support services.
Every project has brought with it inspiring stories, dedicated individuals and organisations, and a shared belief that meaningful change happens when people work together. We are incredibly thankful to the charities, partners and volunteers who have trusted us and worked alongside us during this formative year.
A Year of Building Strong Foundations
While much of 2025 has been focused on supporting projects, it has also been about building the structure, governance and long-term vision of the Sheridan Group Foundation.
Creating a charity that is sustainable, transparent and impact-driven takes time and care. This year has allowed us to ensure that when we officially launch, we do so with clear purpose, strong values and a commitment to making a lasting difference.
Behind the scenes, our team has been working tirelessly to ensure that the Foundation is set up to grow responsibly and deliver meaningful outcomes for the causes we support.
Thank You for Being Part of the Journey
None of what we have achieved in 2025 would have been possible without the support, encouragement and belief of our wider community. Whether you’ve contributed time, resources, expertise or simply shown interest in our mission, we want to say a heartfelt thank you.
Your support has helped turn an idea into something real, something that already has a positive footprint before its official launch.
Looking Ahead to 2026
We are excited to share that the Sheridan Group Foundation will officially launch in Q1 2026 with a star-studded launch event. This event will mark a major milestone for us and provide an opportunity to celebrate the causes we support, the people behind them, and the shared commitment to making a difference.
In the new year, we will be sharing more information about the Foundation’s mission, upcoming initiatives, partnerships and how you can get involved. This is just the beginning, and we have ambitious plans for the impact we want to create in the years ahead.
Moving Forward Together
As we look ahead to 2026, we do so with gratitude for the past year and excitement for what’s to come. 2025 has shown us what’s possible when purpose leads the way, and we can’t wait to build on this momentum.
Thank you for being part of our journey so far. We look forward to sharing more with you very soon.
