Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 In the reporting year we have managed to
significantly increase the number of children
and families we have supported. This has
come from increased awareness of the
charity via social media, word of mouth
recommendations from families we have
previously supported and the building of
relationships with healthcare providers,
school and children's counsellors.
The support we have provided has allowed
families/children to:
● have memory making trips where
they can spend precious time
together and find a sense of
normality in what can be a stressful
time
● receive counselling to help them
understand and process the situation
they are currently in and the best
ways to navigate through an
incredibly difficult time

can continue to provide support even in light
of increased demand for our services.
