Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Thanks to our volunteers, the logistics of our events run as smoothly as they can - local people who may not have repair skills are nonetheless getting involved in our organisation, to everyone’s benefit In the beginning we had to do quite a lot of advertising to attract the attention of local people and ask them to bring their stuff in. Nowadays we get a consistent stream of items booked in.
