Totnes Caring Limited Chair's Introduction Year Ended 31 March 2025 TOTNES ¢ARIN CHAIR'S INTRODUCTION: This year has seen an office move to Follaton House which has enabled us to house all our stsff in the same space and offer them a light and bright working environment. This was achieved because of a generous legacy enabling the charity to put the funds aside to cover the rent. Demand for our services this year continued to be high. It is a very challenging environtnent for the charity sector with a tough economic scene. and rising internal costs. Raising funds has been particularly challenging. Funding is scarce with many charities chasing the same pots of money. The cost of Irving crisis has impacted donations and people have less spare time to offer their services as volunteers. The outlook for the charity however remains good and we have been extremely fortunate to benefit from some legacies from clients who have used and enjoyed our services during their lives. This generosity has had a big positive impact on the ability of Totnes Caring to continue. Protecting the future of Totnes Caring remains our top priority which is possible with the commitment of our staff, volunteers and generous donors. We would like to say a big thank you to the staff. volunteers and trustees whose commitment enables Toines Caring to continue to SUPPOrt so many individuals and their families across our community. The success of the charity is a result of the team effort of all. and we acknowledge and value the time given to the charity. We look forward to the year ahead and wdcome your support in continuing the amazing Work that the charity does.
