the volunteer team, enabling the growth in
performance by 10% in all areas. This was
comfortably met for volunteer numbers,
activity levels, the level of income & capital
growth.
Also, whilst CFR’s will respond to job
allocations in their own vehicles, the
scheme had run two leased cars at some
expense. Our desire to move away from
our reliance upon leased vehicles prompted
the purchase of two replacement liveried
response vehicles and a Medical Treatment
Unit enabling us to provide a more
professional service at events.| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|The scheme does generate income via
medical product sales & event income,

increase in medical product sales & event
income, as our profile grew within the
