There was a significant increase
in funds
available
to be distributed
following
our
main event
in this period, this was largely
due to the no-show ofour celebrity speaker
for the event resulting
in a reduction
of
costs as we had no celebrity fee to pay.
As a CIO, we worked
hard to respond
to
local charity's needs and their request for
support
during
this uncertain
economic
period and cost of living crisis. In total this
year we distributed
over F21,000across 16
individual
charity's and organisations.
Examples ofsome ofthe grants distributed
included:
E7,817on Christmas
activities such as

parties and an exclusive panto trip for

products for the local Period Poverty

The future objectives for the CIO is to
target a younger
demographic
audience		 for
our annual
events with the aim to achieve a
wider spread ofdonations.
Following the success of this year's events,
we considered
how to prepare for a larger
scale event for the charity's
forthcoming
40~ anniversary.
This included
engaging
with our supporters
more closely via social
media, visiting our charities
and diversifying
our stalls by asking local growing
businesses
to sell at our upcoming
40~
anniversary
event
in September 2023.We
also considered, as a means to make the
event more special for the milestone,
engaging
with a high profile celebrity
speaker to ensure
maximum
public
en a ement.
