Dear Fi'i¢nds, Support￿￿, and stakeli01de￿,
As we reÉlect on the past finartCj31 yEar, it is with pi'ide and optijllism that I ￿lte to you oi) behalf of tlie Board

The ye8r has been one of botkn change 01)d ¢ollsolidation for Alice Charity, ￿￿'ked by iniportant developmertts

We b¢g&n the year warking with our ittterim CEO, David Hol¢ from 3rd Sector Solutiotjs, whorn we had
appointed in the previous financial yeaT to suppojt us on a ¥hoit-terni basis. David's leadership during this

Anotber significant developft)eiit duTing Iliis periixi was tlie atfdngement for tlie sal¢ of our premise5 at Merrial
StreeL Newc&s(le-uiider-Lym¢. ]lllS decisioii, while not taken liglitly, lias released equity into our accounts and
enabled us to secuir mojr appropriale wwnibes fTOtt] which to opeiate. The ￿0ve to new premises, eompl¢ted
after the close of this financi￿ yeai. in April 2024, represents extsitillg taew ch&pter for Alice Charity,
positioning lis to delÉver our seNiG¢s eveTr effectively.
The year was also one of ope17tional iestiucknrillg and consolidation. We welcoiijcd new teani ni¢nTrkrs. said
