Support for Independence two years on
|
|
|
On Monday 1st June Support for Independence reached a major milestone, the company turned two years old!
Completing another year on our company’s exciting journey is an achievement and a chance to look forward to another promising year of accomplishments.
Traditionally a Birthday or Anniversary is a special event and special events are the perfect excuse for a celebration. The events of 2020 may not have allowed us to celebrate in a traditional way but completing another 365 days on our journey gave us an opportunity to look back, not only on where we came from, but how much we’ve grown and what direction we want to take in the future.
