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.
