Social Investment
At Thornhill, one of our values is Impact because we choose to make a positive difference in people’s lives through the nature of our work. Our social impact comes both from building a sustainable business to grow our capacity to have this impact, and also by giving 10% of profits before tax for tithe to support projects. It is important to our team to make a difference and serve others where we can.

Bethany Home’s mission is to create a caring environment in which these women and children find God’s love, healing and teaching, and to re-integrate each woman back into society with a restored sense of dignity.
Their vision statement is: “To create a caring environment in which abused women and their children find healing through God’s love.”
