Key achievements highlighted in the report include:

Youth empowerment: 682 young people were supported through the Chrysalis Academy, where they received crucial life, leadership, and employment skills. These initiatives directly align with the provincial government's objective of restoring dignity and well-being within communities.

Community-led safety: The accreditation of 480 Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) groups (259 of which were accredited in the 2024/25 financial year) has significantly strengthened community-led safety efforts.
