Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The Trustees are delighted to report yet another superlative level of fundraising income in the year ended 28 February 2022 – the second highest in its history, and edged only by income in 2021. For the year, £145,023 was raised. This is just shy of the £151,421 raised in 2021, and is far higher than the £62,428 raised in 2020.
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.
