ACT has officially set off on a very special six-week journey of Everywhen, Ardonagh Analytics Lab and Arachas to provide a unique way for our colleagues across the UK and Ireland to discover more about our Group charity.
On board the green double-decker our people will find ACT : On Tour, an exhibition charting just some of the showcase moments behind ACT's nine-year history. Objects, stories, music, interactives and more, the curated collection brings the impact of the Trust to life like never before.
The first week of the tour saw the bus pull in at RiskSTOP Group in Dorchester and Everywhen in Southampton, with 16 more locations still to come as the bus travels up to Scotland before heading across the Emerald Isle.
Over the upper and lower deck, the bus exhibits a host of examples of colleague action, charitable endeavours and monumental fundraising to capture just some of the tales that lie behind the £8 million ACT, together with partners and our people, have donated since the Trust's humble beginnings in 2017.
Included are ACT's origin story, connected to the Manchester bombing; volunteering experiences at a horticultural charity; the Trust's long-term advocacy for mental health services; the evolution of our annual Ardonagh charity day, Give Back; a showcase of Bright Future Prize; and much, much more.
We look forward to ACT meeting even more colleagues over the weeks ahead, inspiring even more of our people to harness the Trust to give back bigger and better over their time at Ardonagh.
In the meantime, discover more about our impact on our website and following us @ardonaghct.
