’ Caring Adventures – Trustee s Annual Report April 2022-2023
Caring Adventures was born out of one of life’s toughest journeys of loss and sadness which led to a desire to help children and their families who are faced with some of life’s toughest battles. Our mission is to turn difficult journeys into love filled, happiness captivated adventures when adversary comes to your door. It comprises of 8 adults who by grace and through faith are dedicated to helping others heal trauma and rise again out of the ashes of tragedy to rebuild a new and different journey. The purposes of the Caring Adventures: To assist with relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability or financial hardship To assist with the prevention or relief of poverty or financial hardship for families To advance culture and community sites for the benefit of the community to enable every child to access outdoor activities, regardless of life limiting conditions Eva is our brave brain tumour warrior who is Forever 7 and the inspiration behind Caring Adventures. As we struggled to navigate the world of “childhood cancer” we came to recognise the barriers children and families face when they hear those words, words no family should ever have to hear about their precious child. We have been in existence since March 2018 as Eva’s Adventures and received Charitable Status on 7[th] June 2022 (Charity Number: 108632) under the name Caring Adventures. We have developed and maintained an excellent relationship with local councillors, MLA’s and local community activists. We have a developed website: evasadventures.com and are active on the social media platforms of Facebook and Instagram to highlight that showing love and giving cuddles can support even the toughest adventures with incredible memories. We have developed a strong reputation through our advocacy and support of others and work to benefit activities in our local community and the wider community, raising awareness for families dealing with “childhood cancer”. Our Caring Adventures Charity has been inactive April 2022-2023 due to Covid restrictions. We are determined to reactivate activities when we are in a position to do so.
