APPENDIX 1 Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period We have continued with our outreach service to provide support to people in their own homes. We have an established Dementia Friendship group which meets each Wednesday moming We have continued to deliver a service of support to our Clients from Monday to Friday, for both those coming to visit the Day Centre and those who are unable or choose not to, by providing a hot 3 course home cooked lunch in a welcoming and friendly environment. We are also providing for those who need carer respite and meal provision at their own homes. We prepare our food from fresh ingredients serving a three course hot lunch from Monday to Friday cooked in our own kitchen.

This gives us greater flexibility and we can also take Clients on local trips.
