Para 1.20 | In this period, we supported 202 children from 105 different families.

| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | We hold reserves to ensure that we can provide support to any new families that reach out to us/are referred to us as well as being able to guarantee we can continue to support families we have been working with, particularly when it comes to counselling that can be spread over a longer period of time than a one of memory making day. |
