Achievements and Performance

	SORP 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 1.20	Gaynor ran the Pontardawe group seven times in this accounting period and helped five individuals who attended regularly. Most attendees saw our posters and came along to chat with others who were grieving. An example is a lady in her early 50s who was referred by a Social Prescriber because her father had just died. She has always lived at home and her mother died many years ago. She was very tearful upon arriving and had a private one-to-one session with our bereavement specialist, Gaynor Rosier. Since then, she has made significant progress in coping with her grief and has never missed a group meeting despite working. The benefits to society are that attendees are less lonely and will not need health and social services for grief symptoms. (The group is ongoing, twice each month.)

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	By gaining funding from The National Lottery Community Fund in August 2022 we were able to plan for and publicise our first group, which began in December 2022 in Pontardawe.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	We were unable to secure sufficient funding to employ staff to make faster progress as we were new and did not have a track record. Initially, money for insurance, a phone number, and office expenses were loaned by the founder, Gaynor Rosier.
Investment performance against objectives	Para 1.41	Gaynor has managed the charity’s bank account to accrue interest and avoid bank charges.
