Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
In planning our activities, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our Trustee meetings
After the first Covid lockdown we were advised by Lincolnshire County Council that we would not be allowed to open the Youth Club nor as a community centre.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
As lockdown eased permission was given to open our building for the use of the Playgroup whose new building was still not agreed. During a short period In the summer some Youth Clubs did reopen but with the Covid regulations in place and different requirements for Playgroup and for us it would have meant that time constraints would not allow us to open.
We have not opened since, due initially to lockdown and now the extended opening hours that Playgroup had been told they must open. Looking forward, we hope to have our building back by the end of June when we will start from the beginning again.

We had decided that we would pay our Youth Leaders wages before furlough was announced. Although we have claimed for the furlough, we have paid them 100% of their wages.
