Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

During 2023 the charity continued to fund raise in a difficult economic climate.

Our fundraising activities have included , funruns, performance events and various smaller events. Personal donations still make up the greatest portion of income to the charity.

Much time is spent supporting those contacting the charity requesting funds. Sadly we cannot provide aid to all those we would wish to, but we have been extremely pleased this year to add to the number of families we have funded and hence benefited from all the hard work and generosity of our supporters.
