| 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 | Summary: 2022/23 continued to be a slow approach to charitable engagement, as the cost of living crisis started to impact public support. The NHS continues to face significant pressure on demand for its services, whilst global events continue to shape daily life. Pressures on the cost of living continue to impact charitable organisations as choices need to be made where funds are to be spent. This has also been impacted by the effect of political events such as the Ukrainian conflict and climate emergencies and catastrophes. We maintained low-key fund-raising activities and have been selective in which events to participate in 2022/23. An opportunity to support the Tour of Cambridgeshire cycling event produced a small income, however did raise the charity profile. We also celebrate the continuing success of usual Christmas events. Some progress was made in reaching a wider audience and we were able to successfully deliver our first syringe driver into Northamptonshire, with the promise of further engagement in the future. We still maintain our delivery line of T34 Bodyguard syringe drivers; however, there has been a significant price increase per unit due to supplier increase and a loss of a substantial discount offed no longer available. There has been no opportunity or willingness to negotiate any new offer. A batch purchase in the previous tax year enabled us to avoid the full price increase However, feedback from the nursing teams continues to prove valuable and that the stock of drivers are now payingan important roles in end of life care choices. |

The total number of drivers, handed over to the CPFT stands at 114, including one for Northamptonshire in 21/22. To date NGNPUK have now handed over a total of 115 syringe drivers. A meeting with the CPFT continues to highlight the impact NGNPUK have made on the Greater Peterborough area and throughout Cambridgeshire. Through continued public support, our charitable objective remains to provide engagement where possible to explore our neighbouring counties. Grants continued to be explored, and we continue to receive legacy donations and feedback in memorial of families and friends who have benefitted from the use of a syringe driver. Current campaigns continue to include the making of Syringe driver bags made from material donated by volunteers. We also continued to encourage the making of knitted chocolate orange covers for the 2022 and 2023 Christmas Fayres by our crafter army as we look to continue these events. A conscious measured decision by the trustees and a strong financial foundation has allowed the charity to reduce the more proactive approach to fundraising and events for 2022/23. Instead, the charity is keen to focus on select community events and education to continue to raise the awareness of NGNPUK and our charitable aims.
