Achievements and Performance
SORP
The Foryet Me Not's have continued to
support carers of people living with
dementia in the local communlty and
have been able run the Friday Lunch
| Club and Tuesday support evenings
throughout the year for the first time
since the outbreak of Covid.
Summary of the main
achievements of ihe charity,
identifying the drfference the
harity s wcrk has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
tenefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20
Firstly, we would like to offer thanks to
a few organisations and individuals who
have helped the charlty financially
j during the year. Both National Lottery
and Crawley Borough Council providod
significant grants without which we
would find it very difficult to contlnue.
Fundraising events held In conjunction
with Brighton and Hove Buses and tho
Charcoal Burner together with
donations from a multitudo of membern
and volunteers also added up to a
i slgnificant sum, all of which will ènable
the charlty to continue wlth Its main aim
to support carers of people living with
dementsa,
Our support sessions are the charlty's
most significant actlvity wlthln the
ommunity and have been well
supported throughout the year. The
overall number of mombers attonding
increased compared to the prevlous
year. The Friday Lunch Club has
Continued to be as popular as ever with
average numbers being maintained at
21. In contras( we have seen average
Tuesday Support numbers incroaso to
11, from 7 last year.
However against pre£ovid the number
of attendances at our weekly sessions
have reduced 14°h.
With this in mind the Trustees felt that
using the Charcoal Burner public house
as our main site for dellverlng support
to carers was holding back our potential
to offer more to the local community.
Staff at the Charcoal Bumer helped our
charity through some very diffi¢ult
times since we relocated in 2020 and
helped to ralse significant funds for the
charity through the annual Royal Bumer
Cup golf tournament and hosting
Afternoon Teas. So the
will be ve

much missed and their support to the
charity is very much appreciated.
i However, for the charity to reach out
moro to the needs and support required
by carers of people living with dementia
the Trustees decided to search for new
premises and vlewedlconsidered a
number of venues in the Crawley and
surrounding districL
In February 2023 the Trustee3 agreed to
sL7rt planning to move the Frlday Lunch
session to Tilgate Community Centre,
which offers so much more space and
opportunities. Crawley Rugby Club was
also Identlfied as an ideal location to
hold the Tuesday night support where It
is hoped that our affiliation with the club
will help to improve the charity's profile
in the ¢ommunity. The site will also be
used for Afternoon Tea$ and hopefully
other fundraising events. Both these
premises will give us tho abillty to reach
out to more member3 of the Gommunty
wlth additional activities, enhanced
i $UPPOrt and food that is signlfi¢antly
more nourishing for the members. The
relocation to both sites occurred in
April 2023.
None of Ihl$ deters the Trustees from
thelr most cherished goal to locate to
Suitable premises of our own from
whFch we could scale up the service we
already provide and help to support so
many more carers in the local
community that we know ar6 out there.
