## **Trustees Annual Report**
## **For the Year Ending 25 AUGUST 2025**
The Charity was set up with the aim to commence delivering a community based counselling service.
The first stage was to secure National Lottery 5 year grant funding to enable the charity to commence service delivery and move to being financially self-sufficient by the end of the funding period.
Following a community consultation process to confirm the need for the services we intend to offer as National Lottery Reaching Communities Stage One funding application was submitted. We were invited to submit a more detailed Stage Two funding request. This was unsuccessful. We were however given guidance as to how a further application may be improved and increase our chances of being funded if we try again. We intend to do this.
Trustees funded costs associated with preparing the grant application and have agreed to do so for the second application.
