Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main Another strange year. Stil suffering the effects of Covid, not sure where : : everything is taking us this year. We have lost our venue for our craft achievements of the charity fi : i oa : during the year project, and experimenting with Virtual instead of face to face, but also not sure where we stand re funding. Hopefully the caravan project will resume but again, will have to be thought through very carefully, due to covid still in the equation. Panto tickets bought but have had to reduce numbers, again due to the complications of covid and the agencies still not doing many face to face appointments, so although it is only the beginning of the year this is when we have to buy our tickets as they sell out very quickly for larger groups, so its wait and see, | very much doubt if the amazing Santa Flight will be reinstated, again covid related. However, whatever we do or don’t manage to do throughout the year, we will certainly do the TOY BOX Project, covid or no covid. Well. we have had a month or two to see what is happening, craft project still in the air, due to logistics, holiday project also due to logistics. | am however delighted to be able to reoffer 2 Chester Uni students’ placements, as being a Chester University Premier Placement, it makes me think we might be returning to some normality. The placements will © be for 2 students on a face-to-face basis, Monday to Friday for 5 weeks. This is an opportunity for both Chester and ourselves to gain new experiences, and benefit from each other’s experience. During the placement, | look at what subject the student is studying and which of my group of contacts would be able to give the student through an afternoon’s session, the best opportunities. In return, the student will learn all about what we at North Wales Superkids do, how we do it and more importantly, why. They will be expected to do research, compose letters to potential supporters, and basically if confident enough be able at the end of their placement, give an in-depth account to an audience on the subject of North Wales Superkids, and hopefully answer as many questions as they were able to. | have to admit, | actually enjoy the challenge of the placement. Fundraising has partly been restored, and excitingly we now have our own weekly lottery, in conjunction with Everton FC. They approached me earlier in the year, and seemingly an exciting way of raising reasonably regular monthly income, which hopefully will increase with every new | member signing up. Details on our website. \ We are now seriously thinking Christmas, how we are going to be able to support so many youngsters in families in dire straits, and pulling out all the stops to make sure our Toy Box Project is fully functional and we help as many youngsters as possible. Obviously because of covid still dancing around us, we have to re visit our health and safety policies, ensuring safety for all. How many referrals we will get is unknown, how many donations in monetary or in kind we will get again is unknown. The list of drop off points, business’s prepared if they are open, willing to have one of our boxes and be a drop off point are starting to be compiled, and | am actually delighted with the response so far. We ask the community, to donate a new unwrapped gift and pop it into the box closest to their home. We have now had Christmas 2021, and although it was extremely hard work both physically and mentally, we did it !! a rise of 17.64% referrals up from 2020, seeing 2577 bags of presents go out to children / young people across North Wales, who otherwise would certainly not have had anything to smile about Christmas Day. Each bag is built individually, matching the youngsters’ interests, developmental abilities, age and of course their likes. This actually is a very difficult aspect of the elves’ role. The packer has to be vigilant, checking age against gifts, if a child is for example going to be 3 shortly after Christmas, we check with the

Achievements and performance referring agent who will get written permission from mum, to allow us to put 3 year old gifts instead of 2year old, a major health and safety measure but also because gifts for 3 are developmentally more suited. The elf, has to check if there is domestic violence mentioned on the form, if so, must make sure no items relating to violence are included, however much nerf guns etc are asked for. Space indoors and outdoors is also something to consider, are the family In homeless accommodation with very restricted space, so bigger toys would not be suitable however nice the box is. We are seeing an increase in the older section 18-25’s, these being vulnerable homeless with no family of their own to remember them on this special day, also youngsters grown up in the care system, who can become socially isolated and depressed at such an emotive time. We managed to go to the panto, but the numbers had to be cut considerably, due to some agencies not yet working face to face. Who would normally nominate appropriate candidates and take responsibility of the children or family throughout the show. | am also absolutely excited to announce we have had our very own Superkids song, composed and performed by some of the Welsh actresses/ musicians who are no strangers to theatr clwyd panto cast and other stage shows. Check out our website to get the best Christmas ear «™) worm imaginable !!! Superkids Santa’s Caravan, also on utube. | am delighted at how very well supported by the community and all our wonderful volunteers again, without who we would not be able to survive. Even though 2020 and 2021 have been strange years, thanks to all the support we have, | can with a proud moment, say YAY, we have done it again. Glad | am not good at maths, as | hate to think how many volunteer hours we clock up. Thank you to each and every person who helps us in any way. 2022, bring it on !I!IIIIIIN!!
