Fighting For Autism (Europe) Registered Charity Number  1189562 Annual  Report Financial Year 2023 –2024 

## Trustees 

Mr Paul Greany – Chairman Miss Julia Hilliard – Treasurer Mr Anthony Bailey – Trustee Mr Jon Sarr – Trustee. 

An extremely challenging financial year that despite initiatives like the Anthony Pillage Fighting Fund Initiative have not had the influx of applicants expected. 

Coupled with the permanent closure of so many clubs after the COVID lockdowns, cost of  living challenges faced particularly by those on low incomes, local authority grants  and increased marketing drives from high profile charities, the impact on smaller charities like ourselves has been felt greatly. Plans for next year are to increase the presence of Fighting For Autism as a charity that aims to assist those in need and those who help them  and consider avenues of exploration of raising the charity’s profile and its aims.
