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 | The charity expended £2517.71 to further its objective of providing respite sailing for families and carers affected by suicide and the poor mental health of siblings. Our work in the Channel Islands, in addition to furthering our purpose, has been enabled by the founder, Tim Davies and his company AVRO Yachting which has borne the lion’s share of the costs associated with this activity. |
Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | We have been unable to conduct planned escape days with families in the UK; or take part in Round The Island Race largely owing to the ill health of the founder. However, we continued our presence in the Channel |
|---|---|---|
| Islands working with the Lieutenant Governor of the Bailiwick, Lieutenant General Richard Cripwell CB, CBE. In addition, AVRO Yachting Ltd conducted a single corporate event which further raised the awareness of mental health issues and a small sum of money for Sail2Help (£273.95). The event also enabled far greater financial support of two other charities: The NOT FORGOTTEN; & The Submarine Family. |
||
|---|---|---|
| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | Owing to the founder’s ill-health we were unable to raise a great deal of money ourselves so our ability to donate monies to others was restricted. Although £1435.20 was raised via the website and donated via CAF. |

| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
