## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## For Christmas we ran parties for all our groups and where possible we invited local musicians to come join us and play carols. Combining the singing with food enabled our members more time to chat and socialise. For carers this was really important as they struggled with eating out socially. Simplicity Catering returned to providing a Christmas Lunch for our Watford Group - this was a great success; the food was lovely, and Simplicity were wonderful hosts. We are hoping that we will work with Simplicity for Christmas 2024. ## **Looking Forward** For 2024 our aims are to: - Increase the admin team - Continue to recruit and grow the pool of Singing Group Leaders - Open a new group at Borehamwood - Continue to diversify our funding streams and continue our rolling program of grant applications - Continue to work towards reaching new members at point of diagnosis - Introduce more events and research the options of an annual fundraising event - Continue to grow and strengthen our Board of Trustees - Continue our work on the Resilience Program to improve our Business Plan and Fundraising strategy along with employee contracts. - Grow our events and improve our presence on social media - Increase training for volunteers and staff ## **Summary** HMM has been through some challenging times but thanks to the all the staff and volunteers we have been able to overcome these challenges to become a stronger and more robust charity looking forward to the future. Towards the end of 2023, we found ourselves in the unprecedented position not only to have achieved our funding targets for the year but also to have made substantial progress towards our targets for 2024. A huge thank you to our funders for making this possible and all the people who gave up their time to raise money, and for those whose generous donations have been an invaluable support. ## **Charitable Grants 2023** |**Charitable Grants 2023**|| |---|---| |Brazier Trust|£1,000| |Edward Gostling Foundation|£4,000| |Barchester Trust|£ 650| |Lottery Awards for All|£9,481| |Archer Trust|£2,000| |Postcode Lottery|£22,500| HCF £10,000 St Albans Community £ 4,500 Fund Morris Benevolent Fund £10,000 ## **Declaration** **The Trustees declare they approve the above report** ## **Signed on behalf of the charity's trustees** **Signature** I **Position Date** I ## ## ## ## |**CHARITYCOMMISSION**1-lertc;M15,ic<'!IM,2r,,ories
