Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The ‘Journey Boxes’ are donated mainly to the Christie in Manchester where key nurses give them to children and young adults diagnosed with cancer. The contents are explained by the nurses and the boxes can be used as the patient wishes which help them through their journey and treatment of cancer. We are also contacted by individuals with a loved one suffering with cancer who request a box. These are collected by the person who has requested the box. The boxes are helping the young people emotionally, to get through a difficult time in their lives. It can also benefit the family of the young adult diagnosed.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	We are yet to involve more hospitals but this is still an ongoing aim. The funds are healthy and should allow us to expand further in the future.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	Our fundraising events have been relatively successful. However with rising costs of events themselves we may need to look for at finding sponsors for events in order to increase profit.

Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	Part of the boxes are a piece of fingerprint jewellery which may not be claimed immediately and depending on the form of jewellery they choose varies in cost. We also wish to reach hospitals other than the Christie who care for Teenagers and Young Adults with Cancer and need to hold enough funds to start this.
