Annual Report CoverThis is our second year developing the Annual Report and we have tried to do something different while still keeping the essence of what is important to us – that the report reflects our ideas and all the great work that goes on in MACS.

Last year, we got lots of feedback about how bright and eye catching the Annual Report was so we have tried to make sure that this year it is something that young people will again want to pick up. As Young Leaders, we are proud of the work we do in the Shadow Board but again, showcase the hard work, positive changes and differences the young people, volunteers and staff make in MACS.

We hope you enjoy reading – feel free to give us feedback when you see us about!
