| 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 | The programme of activities includes a range of crafts and art, inside and outdoor games, cooking, including a healthy eating project and opportunities to learn about managing stress and anxiety. This benefits the young people by adding to their life skills and helping them to cope with the challenges they face. We believe that providing this opportunity to attend the youth Centre helps to prevent vandalism and graffiti from happening in the village and also contributes to village cohesion. |
