The Resurgence Trust Impact Report 2021

The Resurgence Trust is an educational charity that strives to help everyone connect - with each other and with the planet. In these extraordinary times, The Resurgence Trust has adapted and responded to an ever-changing environment, while continuing to produce unique and impactful publications and events.

In this Impact Report we share our key areas of work and achievements over the last year, and thank our readers and funders for their continued support.
