Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | In the first year of charity formation most efforts were devoted to the charity setting up and preparation for the charity founder’s Leo’s Rowing event across the Atlantic, which was main fundraising event. We have worked on the media campaigns, web-site and fundraising, and raising awareness to the needs of the medics and healthcare in Ukraine. We have most certainly attracted the attention of the media, had support from the healthcare industry, but most importantly had immense support from our healthcare colleagues across the UK. Leo already established good contacts in Ukraine through his personal charitable efforts prior to establishing the charity. We are certainly building on that foundation. |
