We extend our sincere thanks to Charles Wilson for his exceptional contribution of £1.5 million to advance and broaden the scope of our mission for societal impact, and for a further £50,000 to support collaborative work with partners in the Philippines.
We are also profoundly grateful to The Christopher Moyes Foundation for its generous gift of £140,000, which will enable the recruitment of an international PhD scholar later this year—the 13th such PhD scholar supported by the Foundation—a significant investment in developing future global research leadership.
These contributions are instrumental in enabling IHRR’s research and initiatives, and we extend our deep appreciation for the continued commitment of our supporters to our vision.
