The charity has developed a number of programmes that are overseen and reviewed by the Trustees.
Public benefit
The Trustees confimi that they have complied wth the duty to have due regard to public benefrt guidance
issued by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity.
Volunteers
We have over 150 volunteers who support us and much of our work. Our work ￿)Uld not be possible without
them. We have appointed a leader who helps find and support our volunteers. We hope the opportunity to
volunteer for us pays back in many ways in terms of support given, the reward of the appreciation of others,
and enjoying being part of impactful activities.
Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
The focus as a charty has continued to be in line ￿th our chartiable objects. We work men and women
of all ages facing rural isolation, on a low income or unemployed. We continue to help start or grow micro
businesses, and to teach the skills of the business world. In 2024 we continued to develop our work
supporting leaders of charities. Our alumni is now in our fourth year ￿leh helps to increase our reach and
impact.
Our programs were redesigned in 2023 to meet the needs of the community we support. We continually
evaluate the impact and are pleased to see an improvement in the impact from this new work.
Our programs for charity and public sector employees across the region v￿rkS two levels of leaders,.
those are to senior level and those aspiring to more senior roles
We continue to use the outdoors to run our programs. We partner wth a number of organisations including
the Greenlight Trust, Suffolk Wildlrfe Trust, Sotterly and more recently the Thornham walks. We find the
outdoor space a fantastic environment for development and training.
We are in our third year of our charty shop. the Pink Trolley in Harleston This continues to be a method of
generating income for the shop but it also helps us to understand and meet the needs of the market town of
Harleston the quality donations and the volunteers to support this make a huge difference. We continue to run
a pop-up shop monthly in Eye which has been very usefijl to improve the amount raised.
We partner with the five cancer centres in the region to support women in their recovery from cancer. The
work we do is considered to be an important part of a woman's recovery post treatment. We plan to
considerably increase this in 2025.
Sustainability
The trustees pla￿ a high importance in sustaining the impact of the work V￿ do and maintain contact with
many who come to us who volunteer or who V￿11 come back for some more support . We always say that our
door doesn't close.
