Our strategic objective is to ensure that the Crann Centre has the sustainable funding required to scale our reach and impact in response to demand for services, which is growing at 20% per year. David and the team are ready for this challenge. We are grateful to the many donors who have supported us to date and look forward to connecting with many more who are excited by the opportunity to create a brighter future for children, adults and families living with neuro-physical disabilities."
