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
