## **Objectives and Activities**
## **Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document.**
The object of the CIO is:
- (1) To advance equality of opportunity for, foster good relations between, and eliminate discrimination experienced by, people who identify as/with a ‘minority characteristic’ in relation to the protected characteristics of “sexual orientation” and “gender reassignment” as described in the Equality Act (2010) by, in particular but not limited to:
- (a) providing information, training and other support services as the trustees see fit, to anyone (either in a personal or professional capacity) who lives, works, or has connections within Wales.
- (b) advancing public education and awareness of sexual orientation and gender identity equality.
- (c) developing the capacity and skills of ‘the community’ insofar as their socially disadvantaged status, in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.
- (d) performing or promoting other activities as the trustees see fit in pursuance of the CIO’s purpose.
## **Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.**
Umbrella Cymru continued to provide a range of support services in relation to gender and sexual identity, diversity, equality and inclusion.
The main activities of the organisation include the provision of support such as information and signposting, advocacy, practical and emotional support, listening and befriending and other services tailored to those requiring such support.
In addition to direct support provided to ‘clients’, support is also provided to ‘professionals’ through awareness raising and training input sessions. These
services support skills and knowledge development within a wider context, therefore indirectly supporting ‘clients’ simultaneously.
**Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.**
Trustees and staff are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The purpose and objectives of the organisation satisfy both elements of ‘public benefit’ and activities and decisions are undertaken in line with guidance.
Trustees continually pay due regard to the guidance and its principles when considering any decisions that might have the potential to affect the impact on beneficiaries.
**Achievements and Performance**
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.
Support is provided to people referred to the service or to those who have requested support directly. The service provides tailored support to individuals and families across Wales. **Financial Review** Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period.
The accounts have been reviewed. The financial position is good at the end of the period.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held.
Reserves will be held to ensure the continued running of the service. This will allow for any increase in DRCs and provide a ‘development pot’ for unfunded expenses such as IT equipment that will improve the services offered.
