We asked staff, volunteers and people we have worked with to share their stories and give their account of how Halifax Opportunities Trust creates opportunities. Whether it is overcoming challenges to build a better life, form stronger communities or create a brighter future, each account is truly unique and reveals just how much care and commitment has gone into upholding our purpose so people have the opportunity to grow in a vibrant, multicultural and self-sustaining community.
Reaching 21 is a significant milestone for the Trust and to ensure the hard work of our trustees, staff, volunteers and local people were acknowledged, we reflected on individual accomplishments, growth and impact over the past 21 years, while looking ahead to the next 21 and beyond.
