Achievements and Performance Moin Achievements of the Chority We were fully functioning on a weekly basis duringthe temi times of the 2023124 financial year and have again seen numerous examples of how the role of 'young leaderf at our sections for those between the ages of 14 and 18 years has improved confidence and enhanced employrnent and academic opportunities. Following our international trip to France in July 2022. which was widely a success, planning is now underway for our next trip to Spain in August 2024. However, due to rising costs of the trip borne from increases in c05t of living seen within the UK & European econornies, we have seen a reduction in the number of our members signing up for the trip. with an expected 55-60 children joining us forthe camp Cala Uevado in Spain.
