βοΈ The application was successful and started on 1st January 2020 and due to end on 31st December 2021.
But...

βοΈ This week JD contacted us to tell us that they have decided already to extend the partnership until 31st December 2022! ππ»π
π·π· As well as the financial support the partnership attracts, they also lend the support of their head office staff teams who give their βοΈ time and π expertise to the partners and in their free time they participate in a variety of π· fundraising activities all year round.
