The trustees have identified that we will continue to endeavour to apply for further funding opportunities, to run projects that serve the needs of the service users. However, it is recognised that we have not had the funding in place as necessary to undertake these projects.
This has led to reduction in opportunities to undertake the projects that would be helpful to the community.
