Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
Chair’s report
It’s clear that household budgets are still under too much pressure which resulted in some events being cancelled/postponed/adjusted during the Year due to lack of ticket sales. That said, we saw an upturn in the number of individual Fundraising actiivities during the Year which in turn gave us an increase in donatioons from the previous 12-month period.
Awareness of the Charity and its services increase Year on Year and we have seen a rise in the number of people using our “Listening Ear Service” which has been extended to 40 hours per week and is available every evening, 365 days a Year. We stand ready to provide immediate support to our local and wider communities whenever people reach out without them queueing to be listened to.
We conrinue to offer a no waitng list service on counselling and where we have been successful in receiving small grants, we have delivered these to the requirements of the contracts on time and sometimes ahead of schedule.
There are some larger fundraising events planned over the next 12-18 months including another Charity Bike Ride and we are hopeful that this will not only raise more funds but also lead to more awareness and more followers/supporters. We will also be revamping our website which we’re aiming to launch for 2026.
With the continued lack of public funding, we are constantly pushing for fundraisers, events and other ideas to bring in further revenue.
