Para 1.20 | We continued with the AQA achievements where our service users received a certificate for their continued hard work. We have purchased a catering van to assist with raising money for the charity. This has been very successful and continues to do well. In August we hold an awards ceremony at the Durrant Hotel Barnstaple, inviting all our service user’s parents, carers etc. Along with people that have over the year supported us in different ways from raising funds for Noah’s to inviting our service users to join in with their activities. These awards help our service users to concentrate and communicate with each other as they achieve their goals and encouraging others top achieve theirs too. |

Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 |
We have shown that adults with special support needs can achieve much more than people give them credit for, with support, patience and a little time these amazing people also show their loyalty and appreciation for what people do for them. |

| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | Every month we aim to hold a fund raising event along side the continued use of our new catering van. Our fundraising team hold a meeting towards the end of the year to discuss forth coming events, what events went well and events that didn’t meet our expectations. We are constantly changing the way we raise funds so that we do not get stuck in a rut. Finding new ways to raise funds can be challenging but also rewarding, as we impart our ideas onto other charities we look to other charities for ideas as well. |
