Achievements and Performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.

The impact of Covid and Lockdown in 2020 gradually slowed down, however we were financially secure when we returned fully in 2021. Clearly funds had come in before the Pandemic , this helped with the initial drop in numbers of 100 which was contained supported by good reserves in capital. We recovered most by 2022 and reached our target numbers. Our Offer is a broad selection of many different groups which encouraged the returns members also new members increased. Our numbers and donations were positive after the Pandemic due to Open Days to drive back the numbers via new members and the revenue required.
