Achievements and Performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity's work has made to
the circUmstan￿S of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
The has been a year of development for New Dawn. The
Welcome Café and Lunch Club, which had been
suspended since late 2021 were restarted in January and
June respectively. The Lunch Club in particular has proved
as popular as ever and provides an important community
space for many elderly and isolated individuals. The
Welcome Café has seen a steady number of individuals
aC￿sS the open, warm and welcoming space.
Hetton New Dawn's other activities have continued in
2024. The Bingo and Keep Fit groups, in particular, have
proved popular and represent excellent connections to the
community for members. INhile take-up of the Digital
Classes has been sporadic, it has nonetheless been an
important resource to many. Transforming Lives continues
to be a valued community by those who attend.
The work of New Dawn has been strengthened through
the recruitment of new volunteers and the employment of a
cook. Funding has also been secured leaving the financial
position of the charity secure. Much of this has been due to
the hard work of Charlotte Davis, Hetton New Dawn's
Communit Develo
ment Officer.
