have a need. The individuals who want to give are generally church
goers or those who have links with the church. The charity takes referrals
for those who have a need from other registered charities or statutory
bodies.

skills or items. The main activity of the charity centres on those giving
time and those giving items.

spa￿. which is a kindly loaned by a local charity.
The trustees have regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the
Charity Commission when exercising any powers to which the guidance
would be relevant. The charity d￿$ this by limiting its activities to those
detailed above, which have been established as being for the public
benefit through the registration of the charity and the registrations of
others Besoms around the county, and by only tsking referrals from
statutory bodies and other registered charities.
The charity only takes referrals from statutory bodies and other registered
charities so that the trustees are satisfied that ongoing support is
available to those who have a need and that the actr'vity undertaken is of
public benefit. The charity's services are open to all those who want to
give regardless of religious belief and to anyone who has a need that is
referred by a registered charity or statutory body.
