Statement from Across

With great sadness, we are sharing that ACROSS is now working with OSCR on the dissolution of the charity, following the conclusion that ACROSS is no longer financially viable.

This decision has not been taken lightly. After exploring every possible option, the trustees concluded that ACROSS cannot continue operating in a financially sustainable way.

ACROSS has always been about people — our VIPs, volunteers, nurses, group leaders, supporters and families — and about making what often felt impossible, possible. Over many decades, together we enabled thousands of people to travel, to experience friendship, care, faith and joy, and to be part of something truly special.

Our focus now is on handling this transition with dignity, care and compassion. We are working to support staff, communicate openly, and ensure that the legacy of ACROSS is honoured. We also want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has travelled with us, volunteered, cared for others, fundraised, supported, and believed in the work of ACROSS.

You have been, and always will be, at the heart of our story.

Further updates will be shared here as the process progresses.

With gratitude,
The Trustees of ACROSS
