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 | 2020 was a difficult year for all concerned. However the main achievement centred on the sale of a major asset that realised the sum of £158, 232 after disbursements had been made. This was invested in the CCLA Charities Investment Fund Income Units fund so disbursements could recommence in 2021 from the interest payments from the COIF fund once all outstanding invoices from Sir John Offley School had been paid by the Charity. The sale of this asset will ensure that there will be further benefit to schools and individuals from this larger investment fund. |
