On Thursday, March 26th 2026, we hosted an exclusive evening of networking and philanthropy at the private car museum of Robert and Tanya Lewis.

Hosted at one of the world’s most prestigious automotive collections, the event served as the official launchpad for our Partner Programme, marking a significant milestone in our 20-year history.

Beyond Corporate Social Responsibility: The Power of Access

As we celebrate two decades of empowering adults with learning disabilities and autism, we are evolving our approach to corporate engagement. The newly unveiled Partner Programme is designed to foster deep-rooted, mutually beneficial relationships with the business community.

Marking 20 years of our work has been a moment of pride, but also a call to action. During the evening, our Chairman, Nick Butcher, and Managing Director, Neil Wheeler talked about the charity's 20th anniversary and the importance of corporate partnership in transforming the lives of the adults halow supports.

Rather than a traditional sponsorship mode that focuses on monetary contributions, we are seeking to collaborate with organisations to leverage their access to expertise, networks, and influence. This strategic approach will ensure that our next 20 years are defined by sustainable growth and widened social impact.

For us, access is a foundational tool in ensuring opportunities and independence for the adults we support.

"Let us not be remembered as a room of successful people, let us be remembered as a room full of people who use their success to expand opportunities to others" - Neil Wheeler, halow Managing Director

We extend our deepest gratitude to Robert and Tanya Lewis for opening their private collection to our guests and for their unwavering commitment to our mission and we thank all our attendees for their encouragement and for sharing in such a pivotal moment for our charity.

Together, we are building a future of greater opportunity and inclusion.
