benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the

the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The Charity is currently broadcasting to
Care Homes and those living in their own

Achievements against
objectives set|
Para 1.41|
The Charity is achieving its stated objective
of relieving loneliness and isolation in those
receiving long term care. There is scope
to enhance this through more request
shows and request visits but this is
determined by volunteer numbers which
are rising and a recruitment drive through
the NHS Volunteers bureau is helping with
this.| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|The main purpose of fundraising through
the 2022-2023 period has been to maintain
a consistent service, maintain equipment
and raise awareness of what we do. This
has been somewhat less successful than
we hoped because of general health of
volunteers, presenters and trustees but is| |||picking up significantly with an influx of new
members.| |---|---|---| |Investment performance
against objectives|Para 1.41|Our Homes Liaison Officer has worked with
the homes to raise awareness and increase
our profile with relatives of those receiving
long term care as well as ensuring
continuation of our request service. This
has allowed the homes to continue to
request tracks for their residents and
allowed for a continuous provision towards
achieving the Charity’s aims and
objectives.
We are now looking to fundraise with the
objective of broadening the service to allow
volunteers to broadcast from their own
homes where necessary and desirable.| |Other||| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The charity has remained financially stable
this year although we are still seeing a lack
of funding from the wider sector and less
activity in community events which has
impacted on our fundraising activities.
Towards the end of this year, we are
starting to see this trend changing with
expectations that Paignton Festival will go
ahead and a number of new events
throughout the Summer planned and taking
place.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The reserves policy of the Charity is to hold
a sum equivalent to one year’s normal
running costs. This should be sufficient to
meet any unforeseen item of major
expenditure and / or to be able to continue
in the short term, funding planned activities.
Currently reserves will be allocated towards
additional listening units to ensure that
homes who wish to receive a service do so.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£2000| |Reasons for holding zero

objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted|Para 1.46|N/A| |A description of the principal
risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|Principal risks at the moment include the
declining health of key members, the
reluctance of new volunteers to get heavily
involved in charity governance and the
continued rise in costs through the cost of
living crisis. The Charity is currently
responding to the ongoing threats by
holding more than one year’s funds in
reserve to account for problems in meeting
ongoing costs associated with
postponement or cancellation of fundraising
activities.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
