OUR OBJECTIVES
To plan and operate these activities to help people transition better into the community, now that they have a spinal injury or issue.
To lead by example of how a life although now different due to a spinal injury, it is and remains a worthwhile life that can be enjoyed fully and actively.
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
SURF carried out regular events across the year, all were very well attended and received. We seek feedback from our participants after each event, to ensure what we deliver and how we deliver our events are safe, satisfactory and suitable for all.
Environmental Initiatives: Cutting our ‘carbon footprint’
We continue to monitor our own and the organisations who we use to deliver our services, carbon footprints, ensuring we reduce this as far as can be achieved.
FUTURE PLANS
What we do is clearly effective and suitable, therefor we will build on this past experience going forawards.
OUR FINANCES
Our financial situation is and remains sound, however, we are looking at operating more cost effectively. Reducing the less needed or priority costs, so we remain financially stable.
CHARITY TRUSTEES
