## Section D Achievements and erformance p
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
The focus of the charity has been very much on two areas:
**Stanton Kiosk** – The kiosk has been running as our own operation since March 2023. The operation has been successful both in terms of sales and employment opportunities an being the “right” sort of environment for a number of our employees. Parent, siblings, and volunteers have also valued the positive mental health gained from working at the Kiosk.
Sales have consisted mainly of hot drinks, snacks, cold drinks and ice cream. Sales have totalled around £13,500 with over 350 hours of employment.
Three volunteers used the kiosk as part of gaining their DofE awards.
**Catering Trailer** – The trailer attended 23 events, which would have been more without cancellations due to poor weather for 10 additional events. Sales have been in excess of £10,500.
Unfortunately, in March 2024 we discovered that the trailer was no longer roadworthy and we have had to retire it from use. We will look to raise funds, source funding for a replacement asap.
**Other** - We have engaged 3 additional employees this year and have serve our 10,000[th] customer.
Some equipment has reached the end of its life (crepe machines) and replacements will need to be sought.
We have moved to Xero accounting software, hence the increase in Accountancy fees from last year.
