Analysis of the above figures shows that in a typical year just over 50% of our grants are classified as "Small" ie £1,000 and under, and require 20% to 25% of our grant funding. This shows the importance of small targeted grants to help families. These figures had been consistent for the last 5 years since we began detailed analysis, but this year we have seen a change and we are recording an even greater percentage (60% to date) as we receive more small applications. Working directly with Family Support Workers we are able to help families with some of the smaller items which help to make a big difference to their quality of life.

Current and Future Events in 2024:
A big thank you to Stourbridge Golf Club Ladies Section. The Lady Captain selected the Charity as her nomination for her two year term of office, and from October 2022 to the start of October 2023 they have so far raised over £3,000.00 for us.
The new Gentlemen's Captain (also a two year term) took over his role on 01.01.24 with the New Year's Day Drive in Competition and the Members entered to guess the distance achieved. The proceeds from the entries which amounted to £500.00 have also been donated to the Charity. So an excellent start to our fundraising for the year with the support of both Captains of the Stourbridge Golf Club.
Once again a Thank you to Sunrise Medical who have collected for us throughout 2023 and we have just recieved thee £249.16 raised. All the funding helping our busy start to the year.
As always, a big thank you to our supporters for their generous personal donations.
