Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	1) Our annual Festive Giving Drive continued to go from strength to strength. The items distributed made a great deal of difference to the tens of thousands of beneficiary families. 2) Our charity has successfully generated a product for sale to the public, which we hope in time will help aid financial fundraising security in the future. 3) Our charity has been most gratified to be working as both development and delivery partners with new UK businesses, in the creation of a carbon capture project, that will help many in the UK, Sierra Leone and ultimately globally.
