Achievements and performance
Summary oftho main
achievements of the charity
during the year
The charity has continued to fundraige and has raised a net £11,713 from
its. own events (this compares to £17,386 in 20231. Unfortunatety this
year it was not possible to hokl the Gala Ball, which accounts for the fall
in fundraising income. It is hoped to revive this event in future years.
t)onations of £54,649 were also received, for which the Trustees are
extremety grateful. These included a number ol very generous indtvidual
donations and we place on record our thanks to these donors.
The Trustees approved all grant requests from the Space Centre and
provided £11,136 for equiP￿￿nt repairs and purchase. A sum of £5,219
was also gNen towards the cinema room which was completed in the
year, and is proving to be a very beneficial and Fowlar addition to the
faciif(ies.
We continued to make provision of funds for the Garden Project in the
grounds ofthe Space Centre, but again issues around planning and
availabilty of the workforce have hekl up the project. However since the
end of this accounting year the project has moved fo￿rd con$ider8bW;
tenders have been accepted, funding is in p￿￿￿ and work is scheduled to
commence in September 2025.
We have prev￿USIY made a major commitment of charity funds towards
this r&developmenl of the upper gardens.. the Charity has already made
a provision in the accounts for £150.000. The charty has adequate
funds available in resetves for when these funds are needed. Individual
donations of £10.304 are also being held by the Charity specificalty for
this wor
The Charity has also been approached by the Space Centre to assisl
with the funding for a complete upgrade and refil of the Space 1 sensory
room.. as Ihis is within our conslrtutional aims, the Trustees agreed to
contribute £100.000 towards this major project, and a reserve for Ihis
amunt has also been made in the accounts at 31 October 2024. Again,
post year end. this prOj￿t is now Schedu￿ to commence in August
