Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The Trustees are delighted to report a record level of fundraising income in the year ended 28 February 2021 – the highest in its history. For the year, £151,421 was raised. This is well in excess of the £62,428 raised in 2020, and exceeds the £43,313 raised in 2019.

This is largely down to the ongoing efforts of one of the trustees, Sophia Warner, who has spent time in the UK speaking to would-be donors and raising profile and awareness of the charity and its activity. As a result, several key corporate donors have come on board, including several schools. Her efforts in reaching out to significant corporate sponsors are bearing fruit.

The Trustees are hugely grateful to Sophia for her efforts and to the new donors for making such a difference.

Cash balances at the year-end are relatively low, due to the application of funds to specific key projects in the year.

As ever, we are indebted to the many individuals who carry on sponsoring Pebbles through monthly donations. They do not seek the limelight, yet their contributions are the bedrock of the charity, and allow Pebbles to plan with some certainty for the future.
