|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to the<br>circumstances of its beneficiaries<br>and any wider benefits to society<br>as a whole.|Para 1.20|Summary:<br>2023/24 saw a measured approach to charitable<br>engagement, as the cost of living crisis continues to<br>impact public support.<br>The NHS continues to face significant pressure on<br>demand for its services, whilst global events continue to<br>shape daily life.  Pressures on the cost of living continue<br>to impact charitable organisations as choices need to be<br>made where funds are to be spent.  This has also been<br>impacted by the effect of political events such as the<br>continued Ukrainian conflict and impact, domestic<br>political landscape changes and global climate<br>emergencies and catastrophes.<br>We continued with low-key fund-raising activities and<br>continue to be selective in which events to participate in<br>throughout 2023/24. We celebrated the continuing<br>success of regular Christmas events.  Some progress was<br>made in reaching a wider audience, mainly through<br>public support outside of Cambridgeshire.<br>We still maintain our delivery line of T34 Bodyguard<br>syringe drivers; however this continues without the<br>benefit of the withdrawn manufacturer discounts.  We<br>maintain a level of reserves to help maximise pricing<br>negotiations as we strive to continue to purchase by<br>batch .<br>However, feedback from the nursing teams continues to<br>prove valuable and that the stock of drivers continue to<br>play an important roles in end of life care choices.<br>The total number of drivers, handed over to the CPFT<br>stands at 125, including one for Northamptonshire in<br>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.

responsibilities of
trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year
under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Charities Act.) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the prO￿dureS laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given
examinerfs statement by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the
trustees con￿mIng any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true
and fairf view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the
statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
examinerfs ststement 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect,
the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met. or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
