					Our reputation for supporting disabled

					Friends at Newcastle Freeman Hospital,
					whose Charity, sadly, was closed and the
					Trustees and Charity Commission agreed
					to transfer some oftheir remaining funds
					over to us. We were overwhelmed at this
					unexpected donation, which could not have
					arrived at a more opportune time, as we
					had just begun our fundraising mission to
					build a new hydrotherapy pool for the
					school. This will be a major project and the
					FOH has spent considerable time preparing
					for some serious fundraising over the next
					two years and will involve collaboration with
					Local Businesses as well as Grant finding.
					This initiative has already created local and
					national interest and has been reported in
					several ress re orts.

identifying	the	difference		the

beneficiaries and			any wider			projects, due to the uncertainties ofour
benefits to society as a						ability to raise funds during the Pandemic,
whole.						as well as our commitment to focussing on
						our ambition to support the school's
						campaign to replace the ageing
						hydrotherapy pool. This project is expected
						to cost in the region off2 million pounds.
						We have seen the impact our fundraising
						made on the building ofthe Rebound
						Therapy Centre, which continues to go
						from strength to strength and supports
						disabled children and young adults from
						Newcastle and around the region. The
						Trustees have worked with the school to
						draw up a fundraising campaign, starting
						mainly in the Financial Year 2021 -2022.
						However, we were thrilled to kick start this
						during this Reporting period with an
						unexpected and welcome donation of230,
						500 from the League of Friends from
						Newcastle Freeman Hospital. We were
						overwhelmed when we found out that they
						had recommended our Charity to receive
						some of their remaining funds as they
						closed their Charity. Many of our children
						have benefitted from the League offriends
						generosity in the past, particularly with their
						contribution to providing medical equipment
						at the hospital, and we are proud to
						continue their work.
						We were also extremely grateful to the
						friends, family and local community ofone
						of our young pupils, Lucy, whose
						grandparents organised a coffee morning
						for us. They raised an incredible F3,254.17!
						We were also pleased that we were able	to
						provide some hardship vouchers for some
						of our very vulnerable families during the
						third lockdown, thatnks to the generosity	of
						a local businessman, who wished to remain

anonymous and who had seen the work we
do via our Facebook Page. The gentleman
approach the FOH and asked if he could
donate funds to provide help for families
who were struggling due to the Pandemic.
Once again, thanks to a810.000 donation
from the FOH, the school's internal quad
playground is back to it's former glory with
the softpore replaced and safe for another
10years! The FOH originally provided the
funding for this accessible playground, so it
was lovely to be able to help the school
keep it a safe and attractive place for the
children to play.
We are very grateful to all those who have
ran, swam, cycled, hiked and participated
in a huge range offundraising activities
over the last year. Thanks to their efforts, we received f8097.37from our JustG!ving
page.
We were unable to hold our usual family
Xmas Fayre in December, due to COVID
restrictions. However, resourceful staff,
families and volunteers came up with an
amazing 'National Elf day', where all the
staff and children dresses up as Elves and
carried out a sponsored event in their own
bubbles. We had sponsored bounces on
the trampoline, swimming in the hydro pool
and an ElfTrail around the school! The
children absolutely loved this, and we
raised an amazing R4,503on the day.
Once again, we would like to extend our
sincere gratitude to all those who support
our Charity and enable us to make a
difference to the Hadrian School
Community. A special mention again must
go to our friends at Blakelaw Social Club,
who never stop supporting us, even during
these difficult financial times.
Next year will, hopefully look very different!
I retired at the end of December and think,
after over 21 years as Chairperson, its well
overdue to hand over to someone new! Our
current Treasurer also retired from school
in June this year and it seems an
opportune time, post pandemic to refresh
the Board ofTrustees, ready to embrace
the exciting challenges our hydro pool
project will bring. Not to mention the
school's oldest minibus is also looking like
it is more than ready to be retired and
replaced!

					be reviewed regularly in the next financial
