reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20T|The volunteers in Wales were able to use the
Talybont workshop to enable 2 adults with
intellectual disabilities to continue attending on
a regular basis with their support worker to make
APT items. In the last 2 months of the reporting
period, both participants decided they wanted a
change and stopped attending. Due to a
shortage of volunteers to run the workshop and
a lack of funds, the trustees agreed to close the
workshop, with a plan still to run ad hoc
workshops on request. An APT taster session
for children and stall at a local festival were
provided publicising the charities work.
In Kenya, the workshops in Njoro and Maua
continued to produce devices which have been
positively evaluated as benefitting children with
disabilities and their families. The Njoro
workshop, funded through the Potters House
CBO Charity continued to be successful not only
in its monthly assessments and production of
over 200 devices a year but in training APTers
from other organisations and in running the 2nd
Annual APT Kenya network meeting which
APT4SD helped to fund.
The APT workshop in Maua was reestablished
with the same APT workers under another
organisation called Inclusive Communities for
people with Disabilities still within Maua town,
After funding workshop refurbishment in mid-24
the APTers were able to restart making devices
for disabled children as well as other outreach
work assessing and supporting children in the
community. The charity provided full funding for
the 2ndhalf of the year obtaining Grant funding
in January 2025 covered workshop , staff and
materials costs for the rest of the year. Virtual
support around positioning and adaptations to
devices was provided through WhatsApp
messaging and video calls for individual children
by our Physiotherapist Trustee on a regular
basis| ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s
