The Young Carers support programme was funded with a grant making a positive difference to these children who have caring responsibilities at home. Money was raised through a variety of different means. The fantastic Ten Tors support group raised funds through sponsorship of their own Ten Tors event. We were successful in raising £3,000 from grants and the Green Car project was made possible by the kindness of a local company. We also engaged in Fundraising through the Easy Fundraising scheme and by the sale of ice pops to students in school. ||||||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**Friends of South Dartmoor Association, FOSDA**|||||**No(if any)**|||**CC16a**| ||**Charity Registration: 1183395**||||||||| ||**Receipts andpayments accounts**||||||||| ||**For the period**
