| Objectives and activities | Objectives and activities |
|---|---|
| Summary of the objectives of the charity set out in its governing document The relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage: The relief of sickness and the preservation of health among people To assist in the treatment and care of persons suffering from mental or physical illness of any description or in need of rehabilitation as a result of such illness, by the provision of facilities for work and recreation. The prevention or relief of poverty by providing grants, items and services to individuals in need and/ or charities or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty. |
|
| Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objectives In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings. The focus of our activities remains: Providing grants or items to individuals who are suffering from either mental or physical illness. These donations are intended to help in the treatment, support or rehabilitation from the illness. The support includes both the individuals and their families. Donations of a similar nature will also be offered to other charities who adopt supporting objects, thus providing help in larger projects. These types of activities can improve the provision to, for example, a children’s hospice which helps the individual, their families and the NHS; relieving pressure on the health service. Funding of projects which work towards the prevention and relief of poverty. This will include the support of individuals who will work on such projects and/or providing materials required to complete the task. Improving the provision of education in an impoverished area can be a public benefit by enhancing the ability of the local community to develop a sustainable community; thus reducing poverty in the future. |
|
| Additional information | In addition to the voluntary time provided by the trustees the charity also has additional volunteers who help with the larger fundraising activities. Without this valuable contribution, we would not be able to raise as much money to use in our main activities. |

Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
Fundraising:Due to Covid- 19 a couple of open-air events occurred to raise money; although the trustees found it prudent not to hold the big indoor event that normally raises the most amount of money. Activities: In line with the previous statement, the trustees focused on finding suitable individuals to support events. However, due to covid, this was limited this year to an open-air music festival and golfing day. Donations:Donations continued to support local charities requiring additional help and individual children needing help to establish a better quality of life. This year's main support was mobility devices to support children – this was easy to manage with the limited contact throughout the year. The above are just a few of the donations the charity has completed during 2012-21. The full list of activities and donations can be found of the websitehttp://shelbynewstead.co.uk/ All donations were made with the commission’s public benefit requirement in mind. All donations either helped to relieve the NHS pressure and/or helped individuals develop new skills or abilities, which will contribute to the local community in the future. Covid-19 issues 2021 22:While the committee sensibly reduced their fundraising effort during this year; however they have been planning fundraising events that will follow the following financial year 2022 23 – including a golfing event and the big Shelby Doo will be back. |

Further financial review details
Financial review
| Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any funds materially in deficit |
|
|---|---|
| £30,000 is required to cover the costs of the next big fundraising activity, this amount is maintained in the reserve account. This is to ensure that the upfront expense can be covered before ticket sales occur. |
|
| Not applicable | |
| Our main source of funding this year has been from a music festival and outdoor golfing event. We rely on the local community for their continuing support and on other local charities to engage in partnerships for larger projects. The majority of the income typically goes to support grants and items required by other charities or individuals and to cover the cost of the fundraising activities. We have no overheads or staff costs. |

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out within the statement below.
