The judges said:

“This entry clearly shows how a small, low-budget not-for-profit organisation can deliver stunning outcomes due to the commitment of its staff. The manner in which FOCUS has responded to change – in the economy, in leadership and in terms of responding to client feedback by providing new and valuable services – is second to none.”
