We would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone who participated in our first online quiz. The evening was full of laughs and the response has been great! We hope everyone who took part enjoyed the evening and we very much appreciate your support.
The Charity has grown quickly over the past two years. In 2022, we received 47 contacts and 29 applications with 15 applicants becoming beneficiaries.
In 2023, the number of contacts grew by 21% to 57, the number of applicants grew by 41% to 41 and critically the number of people the Charity supported grew by 87% with support being granted to 28 people. Of the people who received support in 2022, 73% or 11 of them continued receiving support in 2023.
In 2024, we have already been contacted by 10 people and have received three applications. We expect this to continue to grow as awareness of the Charity and what it does increases. Most of the support given to date has been rehabilitation followed by mental health counselling.
We are thrilled to say that the quiz raised £635 which will cover 12 much-needed rehabilitation sessions.
Many thanks for your support, and good luck for the 2024 season.
