Chairman's Report

It is my privilege to present the Chairman’s report for the year 2017-18. Changes and challenges have come to be the hallmarks of our charity. This last year has demonstrated, without doubt, that our continued policy of flexibility and fiscal prudence, has enabled us to maximise our resources and remain secure.
