The aim of the charity is to help as many young people in need as possible in the hopes of improving their quality of life and offering them opportunities in order to maximise their individual growth and potential. The charity started nearly 17 years ago. It began small with a weekly food concession stand at a local sports field. and helping one child, and has since grown to include several large fundraising projects throughout the year enabling it to help 7 young people plus some 'one-off opportunities when feasible to do so. The charity is supported by many friends and sponsors that donate generously of their time, services, talents, resources and money and we are very grateful for their assistance. We are a relatively small charity, however this does not mean the we do not have an im- pact. The charity provides hope for families; hope that the future for these wonderful young people will be enhanced and full of possibility and opportunity. Whether it is week- ly therapy sessions or the purchase of equipment. we aim to provide the resources to fur- ther their development and enrich their lives. It does not take much, but it means so much. We do not provide the therapy but fundraise so the children we help can afford the best care. For the year from September 2023 to August 2024, the charity was less involved with fundraising events and more with the evolvement of our charity costume shop and focus- ing on the mental and physical wellbeing of our families as they have been struggling: BMS Berkeley continues to support us with a monthly donation of £lOO. Gocardless raised £360 for our charity. Twist Teas grant of £lOOO. Donations amounting to £1700. Suite 109 Costurnes, our charity Costume shop brought in £50,238 in its seventh year of operations. We were fortunate, with the money raised through these donations, to provide £36,934 in grants to the young people who we support, during this time period. The vast majority was spent on respite, supplements and crucial health evaluations, mentoring, rehab thera- pies, horse-riding, and music therapy. All the money we raise goes to these young people, since the Fund has no salaried employees or overhead expenses. We would like to thank the following sponsors, who have contrlbuted to the charity: Twist Teas We look fonvard to another exciting year in the charity and hope to increase our funds, our exposure and awareness and, most of all, our ability to help those in need.
