Caranua: Financial Statements 2019

Ms Rachel Downes:

International travel comes under two areas. One is for board members. We have a board member based in the UK. The person travels to and from Ireland.

As I mentioned, we did outreach. We went to the UK to meet survivors based over there. We had three outreaches, two were based in London and one based in Birmingham. We met between 50 and 60 survivors with these. Normally, team staff would go over for a two-day period and meet as many survivors as possible.

Those days are normally very successful. What we find, particularly in London, is that several survivors come along, stay for the day and use it as an opportunity to socialise and catch up with each other.
