The Impact Assessment for 2024 has just been released by the Focolare Movement’s International Centre.

Entitled ‘You did it to me’ – (referencing Matthew 25 v 40) this annual report covers the operations of members of the Movement across many fields, ranging from education and health, to projects of welcome for refugees and for ecology.

The Focolare Centre for Unity in Welwyn Garden City features in the section on Sustainable Communities, alongside the ‘Dialog Hotel’ in Switzerland.

“We have chosen to tell stories of closeness and fraternity that are the fruit of the commitment of many people and communities around the world who are striving to generate trust every day.” With these words, Margaret Karram, president of the Focolare Movement, opened the event presenting the 2024 Assessment of Communion in Action, held on the 6th of November 2025 at the Augustinian Patristic Pontifical Institute in Rome.

Referencing the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and the encyclicals Laudato Si’ and Fratelli Tutti, the document goes beyond a financial report and describes the ongoing projects in various countries linked to the Focolare Movement and their specific impact on individuals, communities and geographical areas.

Figures include the worldwide communion of goods generated for those in need, and grants made by the Economy of Communion. The report also details the contexts and partnerships underpinning the initiatives, and includes an account of resources spent on improving and developing safeguarding.
