| 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: 2023/24 saw a measured approach to charitable engagement, as the cost of living crisis continues 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 continued Ukrainian conflict and impact, domestic political landscape changes and global climate emergencies and catastrophes. We continued with low-key fund-raising activities and continue to be selective in which events to participate in throughout 2023/24. We celebrated the continuing success of regular Christmas events. Some progress was made in reaching a wider audience, mainly through public support outside of Cambridgeshire. We still maintain our delivery line of T34 Bodyguard syringe drivers; however this continues without the benefit of the withdrawn manufacturer discounts. We maintain a level of reserves to help maximise pricing negotiations as we strive to continue to purchase by batch . However, feedback from the nursing teams continues to prove valuable and that the stock of drivers continue to play an important roles in end of life care choices. The total number of drivers, handed over to the CPFT stands at 125, including one for Northamptonshire in 22/23. |

To date NGNPUK have now handed over a total of 125 syringe drivers. Feedback from 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. We are observing what appears to be a trend of increased legacy donations. 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 continue to limit the more proactive approach to fundraising and events for 2023/24. 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.

| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | Our objective was set to deliver a single syringe driver annually to the local communities. This target was subsequently revised due to the nature of insufficient numbers. 2023/2024 saw 10 new deliveries of drivers to the community nursing teams from held stock. We are now delivering additional lockboxes and toolboxes for storing existing syringe drivers in. We have also agreed to supply a secure medical lockbox for storing medications withinpatients homes. |
