As 2024 draws to a close, we want to take this opportunity to reflect on the support people have accessed at Future Pathways, and the difference this has made to people’s lives.
Our latest impact report published this year showed that our support is vitally important to many people registered with us for many reasons. For example, we know that many people we support experience multiple health and social inequalities, such as living in areas where services can be more difficult to access.
Our work focuses on addressing these inequalities so that people with lived experience of in-care abuse and neglect can live full, healthy and independent lives. While each person’s journey at Future Pathways is unique, this snapshot of our work this year shows that our support has, in different ways, helped many people find their own way to a better life.
This data was drawn from January to November 2024.
People continued to register with and access support at Future Pathways. This year:
People continue to give us feedback that our trauma informed approach is effective.
People continued to access a wide range of different types of support through Future Pathways.
People continue to share that our work contributes to a big difference in their lives.
“Future Pathways […] provided all the necessary tools and support for me to make massive changes in my life. Future Pathways supported me in having a voice and I am forever grateful for the support emotionally and practically. This has given me the confidence to speak up for myself and all survivors and to progress forward with a sense of worth and purpose.”

The feedback we received has also helped us reflect on how we could improve.
In 2025, we are looking forward to:
- exploring what peer support will look like at Future Pathways
- creating more opportunities for people we support to influence how we develop
- learning more about the impact of our work with existing services, such as statutory and third sector services
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to share their experience with us this year. Your feedback helps us understand the impact we make and to keep learning and improving.
