IAN ASKEW TRUST We received small grant in April 2020 to help with general running costs. THE RANK FOUNDATION www.rankfoundation.com We received a small grant from them in February 2020 to treat our beneficiaries to day trips away from the usual venue, to be able to practise their communication amongst the public. This will help our beneficiaries to regain confidence with being independent, and establish the best ways they can communicate when they struggle to speak, read or write. FOYLE FOUNDATION www.foylefoundation.org.uk We received a grant from them in February 2020 to pay for the core costs of our charity.

NATIONAL LOTTERY AWARDS FOR ALL www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk We received a grant in September 2019 to help fund our community festival we are organising called The Crafty Dog Festival. This event will give us a better chance to engage with the community about aphasia, so that we can then help those with aphasia together. This festival will bring people together and build strong relationships in and across our community. By having this event, it will give this charity a place to provide informative talks to the public about aphasia, and help the community to understand what we all can do to help those living with the condition. Our aim is to make our home city aware of aphasia and our charity, and with this larger support network we will be able to help more people who live with aphasia across the country.
