review .many of which were multi items, assisting people from the very youngest in our society. in the
newborn intensive care units with donor breast milk. to the oldest in our hospices and at home with
medication.
This uplift of over 600/a on the year before was delivered by the organisational qualities of our trustee and
committee groups as well as the fabulous efforts of our vdunteers vtho physically deliver the items to their
deslination.
In temis of our fleet W8 secured a second Kia "Our Jane" along with sec¢Jnd hand Honda Cross Runner
800cc °Denni5" and a Ducati Multistrada "Bodhi..
We finish Ihe reporting period with a greater number of volunteers, with a fleet of much younger
motorcycles and cars and with a strong financial perfomiance.
