Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
The first 6 months ofthe year were difficult as the country was still in a
COVID-19 lockdown
situation
with planned
activities for the summer
cancelled due to a period of full lock down issued
by the Government.
COVID-19 was still impacting
on the fundraising
capability
ofthe charity
through
as the charity's
planned
Christmas
Carol concert in December at
Manchester
Cathedral
was cancelled due to the surge ofthe new
omicron variant.
Despite this, the fundraising
income ofthe charity has grown significantly
due to a planned
programme
of activities throughout
the year and a
comprehensive
fundraising
strategy that was introduced
in January 2021.
The focus ofthe fundraising
manager
was to drive fundraising
from within
the Home Instead network of local offices. This coupled
with the strategy
and operation
plan meant the charity achieved
its best year in terms of
income generation
and grant distribution.
The most significant
change
in 2021 was to the name ofthe charity. The
Trustees embarked
on ajourney
of identifying
the charities strengths,
weaknesses,
opportunities
and threats and made the decision to re name
the charity Home instead
Charities
UK to reflect the global nature ofthe
work the charity was undertaking
with sister charities
in US, Canada and
Australia. The move would also prove influential
in the charities
fundraising
capabilities
within the Home Instead
network and is credited
with the significant
increase
in fundraising
and engagement
from this
target audience.
