Contracted activities on behalf of the NHS have also continued, however we unfortunateLy lost our End-of-Life Wellbeing Programme funding. The financial climate is a difficult one both for charities and the statutory sector. The Wellbeing and Dementia Programme as well as the Home from Hospital support

The WeLlbeing Programmes and Home from Hospital contracts involve multi-agency work with GPS, Social Prescribers, Health and SociaL Care partners, Occupational HeaLth, Occupational Therapists and District Nurses.

Contracted services provided remained the bulk of the income. The contract helped people to connect with services at the end of the social care reabLement package. Many efforts were made to ensure that income and expenditure baLanced, with the charity pursuingvarious funds as well as reducing spends including salaries and contractors. The charity's financial situation became more settLed in 2024 due to the tireless work of the manager and the trustees.
