**Community Wishes (Leicester) Company Number: CE026973 Charity number: 1196244**
## **Directors Report for the year ended 31 October 2022**
In our inaugural year of launching the charity, we have welcomed fresh faces into our community at Community Wishes (Leicester). Everyone involved with the charity is dedicated to furthering our mission.
Over this period, we have accomplished 223 wishes, each one unique and impactful. Our endeavors have ranged from granting a young cancer patient an enchanting escape to Lego Land, to facilitating a memorable coastal retreat for a family of eleven at our caravan.
The directors and trustees’ heartful appreciation extends to our generous sponsors and the entire donor community whose contributions have powered our charity events. As we eagerly anticipate our transition to new offices in Leicester, we are excited by the prospect of expanding our capabilities. Our dedicated team will be positioned to bring more wishes to life, fostering positivity and joy.
A profound debt of gratitude is owed to our esteemed trustees, whose unwavering support has been instrumental in the past year’s achievements. Their valuable guidance has steered us towards success.
With sincerity and appreciation.
