Summary ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
Our Crisis Request referrals
continue to rise and we have supported
around 320
families/individuals
by providing
a variety ofitems including
beds, bedding,
wardrobes,
drawers,
small household
items and food.
Our 2022 Christmas
Hamper
Campaign
was the largest so far and we had over
1700families
nominated
across Middlesbrough,
Stockton, Redcar 8 Cleveland
and Hartlepool
local authority
areas.
With the help ofa local business
and one oftheir employees
(who was a
previous
recipient ofa Cause hamper
more than 20years ago},we now have a
new professional
website with ongoing free support.
This has enabled
us to
reach a wider audience
in terms ofwhat we do including
the hamper
campaign
where donors can register via the website but also our fundraising
events and a
means to donate electronically
which has increased
our income.
N/e also now have a bespoke hamper
portal which has saved much time in the
organisation
and smooth
running
ofthe hamper
campaign
making
it easier for
people to sign up and donate which has resulted
in us being able to invite more
organisations
to nominate
families
in need,
Our Afternoon Tea was held
in May 2022 with all the tickets being sold and
those attending
enjoying a lovely afternoon
offood and entertainment.
We also held a music evening to raise funds and our second Charity
Ball after a
long break due to COVID will be held
in May 2023.
Our network ofvolunteers
continues to grow with more ofthe community
contacting
us. We hope to further expand
our network as the charity becomes
more well known
in the wider community.
The Development
Plan has not progressed
yet due to unforeseen
circumstances
but we are hopeful this will be completed
within the next reporting
year.
