The objective, activities and achievements of the Company
The objective of the Company is to provide respite care breaks for people with disabilities. We have started to recover from COVID but it is slow progress in getting the guests back and some volunteer helpers are not available, which restrict the number of guests we can safely take on the holidays This year we had holidays in Ross on Wye, Weston Super Mere and Blackpool.

The Trustees consider that the balance on the Unrestricted Funds Reserve of £96077 March 31 2025 is adequate for the financial requirements of the charity.
