support and advice.| ## Achievements and Performance ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identfying the diference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of its benefciaries
and any wider benefts to society
as a whole.|Para 1.20|Key actvites and achievements have included:

Ensuring the charity has been set up to be
efectve, with a model of ongoing policy
review and development, appropriate
banking systems and fnancial reportng
and a focus on compliance with, for
example, safeguarding, health and
safety.data protecton and equality and
diversity. Trustee meetngs have been held
regularly with agreed minutes and a
strategic plan in place in order to drive
forward the work of the charity. We
believe the charity to be on a sound footng
to enter its second year of operaton.

The charity has developed partnership
working with the renal team and are
beginning to hold joint meetngs for
patents and carers that focus on improving
outcomes for patents and on ofering
support forpatents and carers. The charity| started with a small group of 15 people but throughout the year numbers have steadily increased. The charity now has a mailing list of over 50 patents and carers and numbers atending meetngs are increasing.  The charity is developing its profle within the community and has been able to advance knowledge of kidney disease within the wider public by, for example, atending informaton sessions at a local conference and charity awareness raising day, having stalls in public places such as the foyer in supermarkets and through atending popular local events such as local countryside shows.  Fundraising has been supported at these events and in partcular the charity has been fortunate to receive support from a local Male Voice Choir, Rotary Club and dance academy- all have organised events for the charity or sponsored the charity. This has enabled us to fundraise to pay for our central costs such as venue hire and insurances and allows us to start making donatons to improve the patent experience at the local hospital. We will retain some contngency for the year 202425 in order that we know the public liability insurances are covered and we are able to run our meetngs.

actvites against objectves set|Para 1.41|There was an inital delay to fundraising in order

goal which was to be fnancially viable and have
been able to make a donaton to the renal ward at
Treliske hospital for some cushions for patent
comfort. We are now in the process of reviewing a
