Our impact

"Sovereign have been amazing; they were the first people to provide funding so we could start the groups. They have been brilliant throughout the whole process, they’ve always believed in us, even though we are a small, new charity, they have believed in our ethos and always been really supportive.’’ Tori Rist, Founder of Koala Community Club, Andover.
