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	Our research suggests that more than 90% of our students feel that they achieve their objectives, whether this be to learn to read, to learn basic maths, to improve their skills so as to enable them to benefit from college or school lessons in order to pass school, university or professional examinations or to improve their skills to get employment or secure advancement. We work closely with people referred to us by the DWP or various other organisations to help them enter or re-enter the world of work. Our students flourish in a supportive, non- judgmental environment, completely focused on the individual (thereby ensuring total regard for equal opportunities); in this way students gain self-respect and become better able to engage with society. Not a few come back to us to volunteer. We contribute to both social and economic inclusion.

Additional information

	Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	Our target is a 100% success rate. We’ve not got above 98% yet.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of theperiod	Para 1.21	Net cash assets are £22,156.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	Our income from donations is inherently “lumpy” so, if possible, we always aim to assure continuity by having enough cash and committed donations to cover outlays for the next year. In most years, sadly, this has not beenpossible.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	Net cash assets in our thinking are all reserves.
