The cost of living**<br>**crisis did impact funds raised in this**<br>**financial year but we have sight of year**<br>**ending Apr 2025 and this has been a**<br>**large step up based on new fundraising**<br>**ideas.

|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 2024 we did**<br>**see a 31% fall in net contribution from**<br>**fundraising which we have put down to**<br>**a difficult economic climate. This has**<br>**spurred on the foundation to expand its**<br>**fundraising efforts and we have sight of**<br>**a record year in 2025 which will see the**<br>**foundation break the £100,000 barrier!**<br>**Main contributor to the foundations**<br>**success in year 3 was again the annual**<br>**ball with £6k raised on this one event**<br>**and was £5k down on previous year**<br>**which highlights the difficult economic**<br>**situation people have been faced with.**<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.
