In carrying out this review, the charity has referred to the guidance provided by the Charity Commission's general guidelines on public benefits and how it impacts on the charity's aims and objectives, and also in charting the charity's future strategies and activities. Of particular interest to the Trustees, is how its planned activities will help in achieving the aims and objectives of the Charity.
