Achievements and Performance
The principal focus of the Trustees was to deliver the Charity's objectives.
With the help of grants and donations received we were able to carry out many projects such as, helping the elderly and vulnerable people, helping the homeless and the needy. This was achieved by providing them with food packs, and daily essentials.
Along with this we provided children with books and toys at the Children’s Hospital, gave Christmas Gifts to Children with illnesses, and for vets.
We also covered the vet’s fees for those who could not afford it.
All the projects were a great success. During the tough Covid period we managed to successfully deliver our projects safely, following government guidelines.
The elderly and vulnerable people were very appreciative for the items we provided, especially with Covid at its peak. This also relates to the needy and the homeless and again they were very thankful for our help and support.
Due to Covid restricting us from visiting the patients we had to leave the Children’s gifts, books and toys with the supervisor at the hospital charity. The charity was delighted with support and mentioned that it will put a big smile on Children’s faces.
For those who could not afford the vets fees, they were very thankful that we were willing to pay their vets fees as in some circumstances we saved the lives of some pets. Lastly, the vets were really appreciative for the Xmas gifts.
