Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

IT IS NO UNDER-STATEMENT THAT THE CHARITY HAS CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS YEARS IN SUPPORTING LOCAL PEOPLE AND ENGAGING IN THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.

SALES OF ITEMS ACQUIRED THROUGH DONATIONS HAVE CONTINUED WITH GREATER STRENGTH DUE TO THE ACTUAL COST OF LIVING CRISIS, AND THIS HAS ALLOWED REVENUES TO BE PUT FORWARD TO ASSIST IN HELPING IN GENERAL REPAIRS, PROVISION OF FURTNITURE ITEMS, AND THE BASE IS USED AS A PLACE FOR PEOPLE NEEDING A HELP, IN ANY WAY WE CAN.

THERE HAS BEEN CHANGES IN THE TRUSTEES SEEN IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS, LARGELY BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE OF TIME, COMMITMENT, AND THE TESTING TIMES SEEN IN EVERYDAY LIFE.

THE NEW TRUSTEES HAVE WORKED HARD FROM THEIR INTRODUCTION TO INCREASE ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT THE CHARITABLE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES, AND SUPPORT THE SALE OF HOUSEHOLD ITEMS FOR RE-SALE, AS WITNESSED BY THE SOCIAL MEDIA THE CHRAITY RUNS.

WITHOUT THE MAJOR GRANT MONIES ACHIEVED IN PREVIOUS YEARS, THE RESERVES HAVE UNDERSTANDABLE FALLEN BUT THIS WAS NOTICED EARLY IN THE YEAR UNDER REVIEW, AND THE RATE OF FALL HAS BEEN REMEDIED TO ALLOW AND SUSTAIN THE CHARITIES LONG TERM FUTURE.
