**Face Everything And Rise (FEAR)** Annual General Meeting - 24/7/22 Charity number- 1196975 

## **1. Introduction** 

Kim Purkis (KP) hosted the AGM and thanked everyone for joining. The AGM followed the family/ swim charity event, held at Bitterne Leisure Centre. 

## **2. Apologies** 

No apologies 

## **3. Treasurers report** 

This financial year is the charity’s first. We became officially registered, with the charity commission, in December 2021. To date, we have applied for one grant, which we have been successful in securing. 

In April’22 we secured a grant of £4,400 from a local radio station. This is to cover the costs of running a swim event, each month, across the South over a 12 month period. 

No other grants have been secured. 

Expenditures remain very low. At present the only expenditure of the charity has been the cost of running our first family charity/swimming event (held today) and purchasing the software to make specialised resources. 

## **4. Chair’s report** 

It has been an exciting couple of months for the charity, as we officially became a registered CIO in December and have great plans for the year ahead. 

After recently receiving a grant, FEAR have been able to secure a venue to host a monthly swimming event, for children receiving artificial nutrition in the South of England. Today has been our first event of the year, which has been a huge success. We have had multiple families travel over a couple of hours to attend. Families have been able to meet each other, and children have made new friends. The BBC South were in attendance and will be airing a piece about the event in a few weeks. 

FEAR have recently been recognised by Swim England and are in the process of expanding the swim events to cover England. 

Due to the high number of families contacting FEAR for support, we have been able to set up a ‘mental health’ team to offer further support to individuals. This team is run by Steve and 



Hannah, two NHS Mental Health Registered Nurses. Patients can request help via email, text, phone or video call. 

FEAR also now offer families the option of personalised resources to further their child’s understanding and their health condition. We have also created communication aids for a number of children, so that they can communicate their needs and feelings, within a Hospital environment. These resources have proven to be extremely successful and have given children a voice. 

This year FEAR introduced our new charity mascot, the FEAR Bear. So far, we have donated over 500 Bears to children, and adults, across the country living on artificial nutrition. 

In summary, I am extremely proud of what the charity has achieved in such a short amount of time and am very much looking forward to the coming months in securing more funding to further our support. The committee work incredibly well together and have pulled together great visions for the charity for 2022-2023.
