Achievements and Performance
In its first year the focus has been on the two key areas of fundraising and implementation of the service provision, following on from the fundraising efforts started by the Smart family.
The successful implementation of robust policies and procedures has ensured a strong foundation for achieving the charity's goals as it looks to grow in future years.
The Charity has been successful in attracting supporters to carry out a number of sponsored activities, resulting in sizeable donations. Together with the donation of funds from the previous Unincorporated Association this has resulted in donations totalling £288,063 for the period.
A number of counsellors have agreed to work with the Charity. Marketing activity has been carried out to attract more counsellors and and improve the offering to those supported by the Charity. The first people needing help have been supported by the Charity and free treatment provided.
