During the 2018-2019 financial year The Alexa Trust received individual donations, donations through fundraising events and sales.
Here is an overview from this years activities:

- We signed up to a better package with JustGiving, although we have been paying a monthly fee of 18.00 pounds sterling, we saw an increase in online donations through this platform; of 9,756.90 pounds sterling.
- More individuals made use of the Facebook Fundraising platform this year and a total of 677.48 pounds sterling was raised. Thank You!

- Express Yourself had some sales with Smuggler Records in Deal, Kent and our website, 36.73 pounds sterling was raised.
- With the launch of our new project; Parents Fuel Fund, 20 parents will benefit from this at the William Harvey Hospital in Kent. Although with a slow start, payments to the value of 100.00 pounds sterling were made.
- The Alexa Trust donated 5,740.00 pounds sterling to the Human Milk Foundation to fund the first donor milk hub in Kent. The milk hub is expected to open January 2020.
We would like to thank one and all for your continued support, without our donors, fundraisers, volunteers and sponsors we would simply not exist!
The Alexa Trust looks forward to a positive 2019-2020.
