Nurses Reaching Out (NRO) runs two projects in Northern Uganda. The first project concerns the provision of food and drink for hospitalised patients who are without a family member to look after them. It is customary to have an attendant during a period of hospitalisation to provide meals to a patient. Patients who are in need of the meal provision from NRO are identified during hospital admission and a referral is made by nurses and/or hospital social workers to the cooks employed by the charity. Th patients identified for this provision will receive meals and refreshments for the period of their hospitalisation. Locally these patients are described as destitute and as such receive the provision free of Summary of the main charge. Without the meal and refreshment provision provided those activities undertaken for the patients without family or an attendant are at risk of at hunger and public benefit in relation to dehydration. these objects (include within this section the statutory The second project provides a baby kit to accompany government declaration that trustees have maternity kit.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Unfortunately, NRO has seen it’s monthly donations fall. Our fundraising activities have been somewhat limited with less people and grant giving organisations donating to charities. We are extremely grateful to those who have given financially to the charity. The trustees reviewed the meal service and revisions were made to the ingredients used for the meal provision. The charity has been able to continue to run both projects and keep the staff we have employed to run these projects.
