|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**For the year ending April 2023 we again**<br>**saw a favourable increase in net income**<br>**for the foundation with 61% growth on**<br>**year 2, in line with our £25k target for**<br>**year 3.**<br>**Main contributor to the foundations**<br>**success in year 3 was again the annual**<br>**ball with £11k raised on this one event.**<br>**We launched at the event the “Dosh for**<br>**Josh” campaign where we asked**<br>**supporters to start their own**<br>**fundraising initiatives in support of the**<br>**foundation and allowing us to extend**<br>**our network of conations beyond our**<br>**usual donator base. This proved to be**<br>**very successful and was a large factor**<br>**in our increased income in this financial**<br>**year.**<br>**Very generously we continue to be**<br>**supported by other efforts, largely**<br>**people supporting the foundation by**<br>**taking on individual challenges such as**<br>**sport / exercise related fundraising.**<br>**Thank you to all of our kind supporters**<br>**and donators during the period.**<br>**We are aware that the foundation will**<br>**not have a direct tangible benefit to**<br>**society (in line with our objective) until**<br>**we have reached our target fundraising**<br>**goal which will allow us to purchase the**<br>**lodge. We must therefore strive to reach**<br>**our goal as quickly as possible so we**<br>**can achieve what we set out to do and**<br>**improve the quality of people’s lives and**<br>**keep our supporters in the loop of our**<br>**progress along the way.**<br>**The cost of living crises is our main risk**<br>**going into year 4 with many people**<br>**battling with high inflation and less**<br>**disposable income.**|
