Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achiovements of the Gharity
durlng the year
We have links vlith local organisations which give us the ability to
signpost families to other serVI￿S in the area offering even more diverse
range of support for our families.
We are GU￿entlY running 5 groups per week plus we deliver training
courses which offer invaluable advice for our families. The groups include
a cuppa meet for parent carers to gather infomiation and obtain advice
and signposting helping them to cope better in a crisis. We have issued
free tooth ktts for parent and children and also free ¢leaning and safety
products provided by the local Council free of change. We have been
supported by The Rotary Club. Swadlincote and also Miles for Smiles
Ytho have made a payment of £5000 directly lo Gres18y Old Hall to cover
our room rent for this year. We have also re￿iVed a large donation of
stationery and paper and ¢raft'tng items from another local service which
has sadly closed.
This has been a wonderful year in tems of progress for the charity and
for our families. We have great plans for next year and are looking
forward to worf(ing tog8ther wtth other organisations and of course our
families to h8lp us athieve our aims and obj'ectives.
This year has been one of great joy for us seeing the centre going from
strength to streryth and more visitors and activities b8ing able to be
delivered.
