Achievements against
objectives set|
Para 1.41|| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|Funds achieved from both fundraising
activities and individual donations have
been reduced this year largely due to the
cost of living crisis and knock on effects of
the pandemic, in the UK. This is evident at
car boot sales where negotiated prices are
at about half the level of last year. Also we
have been unable to attend many because
of the poor weather. Personal donations
have also been affected by difficulties
experienced by other charities, so less
money is available generally.| |Investment performance
against objectives|Para 1.41|We continue to be able to make purchases
as required but are reviewing sources of
funding.| Other ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s
