Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year				Charitable Activities The main project completed in the period was the funding oftwo video tours to show what wifi happen when children are admitted into hospital for surgery. The films are virtual reality so all the different areas ofthe hospital can be fufiy explored whilst watching the film.
