| Saint Dunstan’s 2015 AGM
The directors presented their report for the year ended 31 March 2015. This report forms part of the audited financial statements.
1. General Review
Introduction
This director’s report is written at the time Blind Veterans UK (formerly known as St Dunstan’s UK) is celebrating its centenary. During the past 100 years it has continued the very important work of helping blind war veterans see that there is life beyond blindness. It expanded that work to South Africa in 1935 by establishing a Welfare Committee in the country. The Committee continued until 1944 when St Dunstan’s Association for South African War-blinded Veterans was established.
During the 2014/2015 financial year our beneficiaries were confronted by challenges and difficulties in areas like health, finance, relocation, bereavement and the education of children, to name a few. These challenges were handled with the care, support, rehabilitation and independence training which have been the trade-marks of St Dunstan’s Association SA. We continued to celebrate the achievements of the beneficiaries and their families, as well as of blind and visually impaired persons in general, through the quarterly St Dunstan’s Review magazine; and brought news about new developments in technology relevant and of interest to persons with visually impairment.
This report indicates that the financial and administrative state of St Dunstan’s is very healthy despite the challenging financial environment in which it operated during the 2014/2015 financial year.
