There is ample evidence to show that the work carried out and delivered since 2018 has merit and still huge potential. This is now an embryo within which the work to deliver the above will continue. Where appropriate alliances and collaborations will be sought, a finance model planned and implemented, more specialisations utilised by bringing on board more trustees with relevant skills and experience. ## **Financials** As of this time GAH has inherited a cash at bank balance of £8,000. There has been no other income and nothing has been spent, as of April 2025.
