We are almost continuously fundraising to support the group but in addition toward the wrchase of a Resptte Holiday Caravan to enable members to have a holiday. Especially since the lockdown our members have been even more exhausted and stressed. At the beginning of the year the whole group is involved in drawing up an Events calendar to provKle activities and entertainment for our cared for children. Some events continue from one year to the next, Mothering Sunday Tea. Halloween & Christmas Parties. During the summer holidays we ty to plan tsvo major trips and weekly local activities especially on I￿aCh. Everything is costed and local charities are approached for those activities beyond our own fundraising abilities.

Or members may find some relaxing activity to which they can all go Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional inforniation) For nearfy two years VIKC have had a major drive to fund the purchase of a respite holiday caravan on a park not too far away, so familiarisation trips can be planned. Initially we had planned to buy a 2 hand 8 berth caravan. Apart from local funding charities we approached the National Lottery. They have suggested we would get better value for money by buying a new caravan. The commrttee have been working hard to fulfil the National Lottery's requirement for very full information in every aspect of this purchase and subsequent running of our holiday home. You may choose to indude further statements, where relevant, about.. policy on grantmaking., policy programmè related investment" As there are only 16 holiday weeks and we have over 20 families wishing to holiday, this must be carefully managed. We also plan to let our caravan during temi time to create some income towards the running costs First. Y￿ will offer this to other Kinship Carers in the North East. We are anxious to ensure that our guests will not cause more than nomial wear and tear of our lovely new caravan. We are in touch with other charities in the area wha also let their holHJay homes and w8 are most grateful for their advice and insights. contribution made by volunteers. We continue to SPTEad the wor(1 about the existence of our local group and activities. We know that there are 4 times as many Kinship families in our localty than throughout the rest of the UK and outside London. Kinship Carers have been mentioned in the press and on TV more in recent months.

We now have a full commrttee of 6 trustees. WIU) a new Secretary and Events Advisor, all of whom are settling into their posts and understanding thèir various ￿ponsIbIlItIes. Our chair AticE Taylor has become an almost on&woman money machine by attending Car Boot Sales, Blue Flag events, Cheeki Monkey baby events. Tombolas, sponsored walks, rambles, Aftemoon Teas, Pie and Pea suppers. She has raised over £3,500 since lockdown which is ttuly amazing given Wallsend is a known de￿iVed area. In the summer holidays there were two trips away the main trip was to Flamingoland which sadly was a rather wet day and puddles featured mightily in the children's feedback. The children (and even some carers) thoroughly enjoyed a trip to Go Ape. There were some very happy but tired children on the retum trip. We also attended a sumrnèr show at the local playhouse which proved to be a rather noisy eventl | After several failed attempts of producing a website - www wkc-uk.or is | almost complete and we are irKlebted to VODA vtho have in collaboration with Sunderfand Software Crty funded this. Some sections are probably somewhat bare still. We are looking for some input from committee members. Mainly for links to other bodies that have useful infom)ation of value to a51 our Care￿. Not forgetting the main Kinship Org website. The purpose of this online resource is to provide wider information for our own group but also to invrte other Kinship Families to join us for their ongoing supporL Section E Financial review Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves We had no policy on 'Resepies' as this was not something we had even considered. However. one of our potential funders raised this issue and we could well see that in an ideal world we should have a Reserve Fund. Vve feel that On￿ we have purchased our Resprte Holiday Home there should be an opportunity to build such a sum to cover lack of suitable funding for any of our activrties. this may depend on our 'lettings'.

Support Fund, we hope to offer travel expenses: food parcel and entertainment passes so that any Kinship Family can fully enjoy their holiday wrthout financial restraint. We anticipate that this would need to be in the region of £5000.If this sum is added to ongoing costs of some £7,500. We need to raise this annually. Lettings might provide an income of some £5-6.000.So we V￿11 need to look to raise a similar amount every year.
