Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | The charity’s activities for this operating period have largely been focused on identifying individuals and organizations that would be minded to help move the charity’s objectives forward. This will be a key area of focus going forward for the charity. At this stage, the main risk to the charity achieving its objects is the ability to raise adequate funding. Significant capital is required and will need to be sourced from donations and grants where possible. The generosity of individuals and organizations will be key but is ultimately outside the control of the charity. |
