What Your Money Actually Does

When people choose to invest with Green Pastures, they’re not just moving money - they’re moving lives.

For many of our investors - especially those thinking carefully about legacy, impact, and purpose - the question isn’t simply “What return will I see?” but “What difference will this really make?”

So today, we want to take you behind the scenes and show you what your money actually does.

Not as a spreadsheet. Not as a balance sheet.

But as real people, real homes, and real transformation.

People First. Always.

At Green Pastures, we believe finance should serve people - not the other way around. Every pound invested helps create safe homes, sustainable support, and long-term pathways out of homelessness, addiction, and vulnerability.

Here’s what that looked like in 2025.

A Year of Lives Changed

🤝 Growing a Community of Purpose

This year, 466 new investments were made into Green Pastures.

Each investor joining us made a thoughtful decision to align their finances with compassion, faith, and practical impact. Together, you’ve helped grow a movement of people who believe money can - and should - do good.

🏠 Homes That Change Everything

In partnership with 88 trusted frontline organisations, we now help provide a home and wraparound support for 1,519 people.

These aren’t temporary fixes. They’re stable, dignified homes where individuals can begin again - with the right support around them.

In 2025, we also:

1. Completed on 7 new houses, creating 18 additional bed spaces
2. Progressed further properties that are already in the pipeline, preparing for even more lives to be supported

Behind every door opened is a person who no longer has to sleep rough, sofa-surf, or live in crisis.

🌱 Support That Rebuilds Lives

Housing is only the beginning.

Across our projects and partnerships this year, individuals accessed a wide range of support, including:

1. Counselling and therapy
2. Addiction recovery and rehabilitation pathways
3. Job searching and employment support
4. Qualifications and education
5. Life skills such as cooking and budgeting
6. Creative and well-being activities like gardening, hiking, sports, walks and pottery

These aren’t “extras”. They’re essential steps in restoring confidence, identity, and hope.

🔄 From Survival to Flourishing

Throughout 2025, many individuals moved through rehab and addiction recovery, stepping into Pastures New - employment, training, education, and meaningful contribution.

We’ve seen people once written off now:

1. Holding down jobs
2. Studying and gaining qualifications
3. Supporting others on similar journeys
4. Making a positive impact in their communities

This is what sustainable change looks like.

🎓 Investing in the Next Generation of Change-Makers

This year also saw another cohort of Mattersey students graduate.

These men and women are now stepping out into the world to make an eternal impact:

1. Some joining our direct housing projects
2. Others supporting our incredible partner organisations
3. Many moving into teaching, social services, counselling, training and education

Your investment doesn’t just support today’s needs - it helps shape tomorrow’s leaders.

✝️ Faith in Action

At the heart of everything we do is faith lived out in love.

Over the last year, we’ve seen:

1. People come to know Jesus
2. Lives transformed through faith
3. Baptisms celebrated
4. Testimonies shared
5. Individuals stepping into preaching, leadership and service

These are moments that don’t always fit neatly into reports — but they matter deeply.

Why This Matters to You

For many of our investors - often thinking about family, future generations, and lasting legacy - this work resonates on a deeper level.

It’s about knowing your money is:

1. Creating tangible good
2. Aligned with your values
3. Leaving a legacy that goes beyond financial return

It’s about being able to say:

“My investment helped someone find home, hope, and a future.”

Thank You for Being Part of the Story

Whether you’ve been with us for years or joined us in 2025, thank you for believing that finance can be a force for good.

As we look ahead, we do so with faith, expectation, and gratitude — ready to open more doors, restore more lives, and continue seeing people flourish.
