## **Review of Activities**
objectives in order to serve more beneficiaries on a national scale, and not just restricted to Berkshire, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. In addition, it agreed to extend its support via a holiday home, based at Hoburne Cotswolds Holiday Park near Cirencester. The holiday home, named Charlie’s Retreat, will not only serve as a more tangible tribute to Charlie, but enable the charity to help more children along with their families.
This will be purchased in part using existing funds, with the remainder via grants, donations and fundraising events in the coming year. This will ensure we reach our set target to cover the purchase of the home as well as initial running costs. The Board aims to achieve this by Summer 2025.
