Nurses Reaching Out saw it’s monthly donations fall and attempts to gain Summary of the main grants were not successful. The financial income stabilised but the achievements of the charity Trustee’s needed to make a difficult decision as the regular income to the during the year charity would not support the work of both projects. The decision was to close the baby kits project for the time being and continue with the 25:35 NRO’s meal provision project. We are extremely grateful to those who have given financially to the charity over this past year. The charity aim is to reinstate the baby kit project when the financial provision improves.
