Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We are established as the place to go locally to get help fixing your household stuff.

We have a team of volunteer repairers who are brilliant at helping people fix things. Our Facebook Group documents the highlights and we have a library of photographs.

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.
We are beginning to see ‘organic’ praise from people we’ve helped.

Section E Financial review
