Activities and Achievements The year again saw significant increases in the numbers of people with disabilities referred to us by word of mouth or by local council and NHS agencies departments. Our model of forming partnerships between disabled adults and volunteers with similar interests continues to be very challenging but is very effective in addressing social isolation. The charity enjoys over 100 members and volunteers and this quantity is constantly developing. Funding to deliver this service has continued with a Buckinghamshire County Council grant together with grants from The Rothschild Foundation, Anson Charitable Trust ,The Mulberry Trust and the J&R Jefcoate Trust, all organisations who show a particular interest in our work. Also with the increase in referrals meaning that we remain dose to the limit of our reSoUr￿s, our coordinator Victoria has developed innovative ways to ensure that we keep up with the needs of the membership . During the year more members and volunteers have been involved and have benefited greatly from the Chariws work. Victoria has developed a very successful range of activities for the members and volunteers including, monthly lunches, trips to local amenities and pla￿S of interest plus several regular zoom sessions to help maintain contact with housebound members.
