Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Successively worked with the community leaders to increase Covid19 awareness and worked on standard control mechanisms within the community to abate the spread of the disease at a large scale.
Successively organised resources and provided immense support to tackle child labour and early pregnancy amongst children, youth and students of the entire village community. The Trust has continued to fund writing and reading materials for children especially during the 2 years lockdown on schools.
Successively had positive engagements with the children and their guardians to provide food, home study systems and scholastic resources. The Trust’s website www.bcreativity.org.uk is still undergoing maintenance and the trustees successively appointed an IT specialist (i.e., at a value for money) to revamp the site to the required website standards. We believe that this will improve its user ability.
Th Trust has positively continued to empower parents through its saving scheme that has in return improved the children’s home incomes.
