|---|---|---|
| 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 main achievement is to ensure that the cemetery is a place of enjoyment whilst gaining knowledge of the environment. The surrounding area has bad reputation so encouraging visitors to the Chapel to view displays and events helps local people feel safe. Also those from other parts of the country visit for family grave finding and we are able to tell them what the area was like in the old days – what housing and work was like. |
