Coffee Mornings
We have continued our on-line support groups and
increased the number of facilitators to ensure that we have
a defined structure in place to support not just attendees
but also the facilitators.
This has also meant that we have had to structure the sessions to
ensure that we can follow an agenda that fosters conversation
and allows us to signpost to relevant organisations that can
provide support outside of our remit.
2.
Information stalls at events run by other third party charity
organisations – we have begun showcasing our offering at other
events within our community to ensure that we can spread
awareness and share details of how we provide free pamper
boxes, wig grants and other on-line support to widen our reach
and ensure that we can grow the service delivery into other areas
of the UK.
3.
We have continued to develop a community on-line that has a
large following on both Instagram and Facebook with a combined
reach of over 5000 followers on both platforms, we have been
able to use these platforms to build positive relationships with
other charities such as Breast Cancer Care UK, McMillan and
Future Dreams, working with these groups has allowed us to
create events with mainstream brands such as MAC Cosmetics
that are free to attend and help those who follow us on line to
build friendships that spill out of social media and into daily life.
4.
Wigs for Heroes has been very active in building our
relationship with Hair to Ware and are now also engaged in
offering grants to those who are not being treated in NMUH.| ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 3 You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D ## Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## Section D **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** ## Achievements and performance Key achievements of the year were the successful progress towards the below stated aims have been and are not limited to the below; - We now operate across multiple fundraising platforms and are also maintained our fundraising regulator approved status - Pamper boxes have continued and we have increased weekly deliveries to our specified local hospital and also onboarded volunteers to co-ordinate the collection of donations from a much wider area. - The total number of bags given out in 2022 exceeded over 450 with each one being provided to a new patient starting chemotherapy at NMUH this represents a increase in the previous year. - Connecting and implementing social media campaigns with other larger notable charities has continued and we are now participating in larger campaigns and seeing a significant increase in community awareness and uptake of our services.

March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## **Section E** ## **Financial review** |**Brief statement of the**
**charity’s policy on reserves**
**Details of any funds materially**
**in deficit**|Wigs For Heroes utilises a model of growth that has little to no impact on
cash reserves and seeks to find partners and organisations that can fund
through service provision and donations the required liquidity to fund
future projects.
We see having a strong cash reserve as being intrinsically linked to our
future ability to provide financial grants.
Ensuring that our outgoings can be regulated strictly enough to allow this
to happen is our key priority in enabling our continued growth and future
existencewithinourcommunity.| |---|---| ||The charity has no deficits and no outstanding debts of any kind.| ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** |You**may choose**to include

Smile, CAF online, Just giving, Paypal funds and direct donations on
other online platforms now including the like of Donr and community
group action which will result in a greater sum of gift aid to be collected
against donations.
Grant applications are also a new area of focus with successful bid

copy writing experience to work alongside the trustees in the grant writing
process.| |---|---| ## **Section F** ## **Other optional information** We have now moved to a fully documented ERP platform that also links with our employer record with HMRC, This has allowed us to document all income and expenditure in significant detail including placing funds in reserve that can be tracked back to specific nominal ledgers in our system. It is also linked directly to our banking system so records all donations against source whilst also allowing us to record all purchases with a valid purchase requisition.
