Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
After the difficulties of the Covid years we have been able to reach a position of organisational and financial stability to enable us to concentrate our activities on our central store and workshops without the need for any external storage facility.
In the other important part of our service our workshop partners have continued to reconnect. We are closely associated with Shropshire festivals and joined them for the children’s festival in Telford and Commonwealth Games celebration in Shrewsbury. We have been actively involved in local events provided at libraries and sheltered housing as well as training workshops for after school arts clubs. We support the local Rural Community Council by providing workshops for their sight loss and friendship groups.
As well as our two current Arts award students we had two young people who completed their bronze and silver awards a few years ago keen to do their gold award.
Our financial position has remained stable during the year, thanks to the hard work of our staff and volunteers and provides a base for an expansion of our activities, to enable us to concentrate on the use of recyclable materials in the promotion of educational creative arts and crafts.
Scrappies is a much-loved store in the local community and beyond and we continue to support all local activities when asked. We contribute to the local Arts Forum and the Chamber of Trade,
We continue to have great support from 18 volunteers who not only help us to maintain our service to our members but benefit personally from the work that they do.
Our website and Facebook pages continue to generate increasing interest.
