We run a play-scheme for under 12’s from 10.00 – 15.00, Monday - Friday during school holidays.
Every Monday and Thursday during term time from 12.00 – 16.00 we open our Foodshare and Community Fridge to the public.
We have run a group residential activity as part of our youth social action & citizenship programme, where young people design a community project, volunteer their time, learn new skills and meet new people.
We aim to ensure that young people are engaged in positive activities and deterred from anti-social behaviour.
We work in partnership with Rainworth Parish Council to take care of the Rainworth Skate Park and encourage more positive activities for young people and families.
During the COVID 19 Restrictions the majority of services were put on hold or held online. The main activity for the charity has been the relief of food insecurity through the provision of food, befriending and support services.
## **Public benefit statement**
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.
Children and families have access to play and youth provision that they could not usually afford by means of attracting grants to subsidise the operating costs of provision.
Our Foodshare scheme fights food poverty and reduces food waste. Local people are able to access daily provisions at no cost, that would otherwise go in the bin. The Foodshare scheme provides meals for up to 80 children, 20 families and 15 individuals per year.

## **The Social Action Hub**
Our over 13's provision, The Tree House Project supports young people who are experiencing isolation and supports them in dealing with how this affects their wellbeing.
Our local partnership works to develop social action projects and volunteering opportunities
-increases community cohesion;
-improves the environment;
-develops community spaces; -provides more opportunities for people to access education and skills development and;
- improves people’s mental health and overall well-being.
## **Summary of the main achievements during the period**
1. We have secured and retained 73 Volunteers to help with Foodshare.
2. We raised an incredible amount of grants and funds to support the most vulnerable and isolated in the local community, we've reached over 500 local households to support them with food insecurity, health and wellbeing.
3. We have a youth club membership of 132 young people who have used our service at least once this year (unique).
4. The COVID-19 pandemic hit at the end of March and we were able to mobilise 71 volunteers to support the local community with access to food, medication, community transport and befriending.
## **Financial review**
We have received a high amount of funds for COVID-19 relief activities. It has increased our turnover a great deal but we don't expect that this will be maintained over the following year. All non-restricted funds will be retained in order to support the most vulnerable and isolated in our community and invested in future projects.
## **The charity’s policy on reserves**
SAH's reserves policy is to maintain sufficient levels of reserves to enable operating activities to be maintained, taking account of the potential risks and contingencies that may arise from time to time. The policy is reviewed annually by trustees. SAH's total unrestricted reserves are saved in a deposit account which accrues interest. In addition amounts are set aside in operational budgets to meet financial risk associated with potential contingencies and any uncertainty relating to the charity’s operating activities. Three months running costs should always be held in reserves.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Social Action Hub (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
