Section D Achievements and performance (see full annual reports for more details)
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Our main community fundraising initiatives - May Day Stall, Yard Sale and Christmas Quiz- were all very successful thanks to the hard work of the Trustees, Centre Manager and volunteers. It is pleasing to note that we were able to exceed our £3000 fund-raising target for the year by £667. The team continued to deliver a comprehensive planned programme of activities which combined popular outside musicians and in-house entertainments, all of which are intended to promote overall member wellbeing.
Our experience is that whilst we are able to bring in new members, our numbers do fluctuate because some existing members need to transfer to alternative care environments and sadly because others have died.
