Para 1.20 |
During this tme period, our charity became an invaluable support arm for families navigatng repatriaton. Losing a loved one is incredibly difcult, and when it happens abroad, it adds even more stress and challenges for the grieving family members. Throughout the year, we assisted a further 39 individuals by providing them with guidance on repatriaton or fnancial assistance. The families we supported were extremely grateful for the help provided by our charity. REST granted over £15,000 to families, allowing them to bring their loved one back home to Wales. In additon to our primary services, we had a successful year of fundraising in 2024. We started the process of Gif Aid registraton to boost funding by 25% / Pound. Additonal fundraising contributons came from volunteer supporters, local organisatons and contributons from charitycollecton tns. |
