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)

• We received the final payment from our ERASMUS+ project

• • We had two huge performance opportunities, firstly the delayed Paralympic 2020 torch lighting ceremony at Stoke Mandeville and secondly the National Lottery GB Homecoming event (post Paralympics athlete welcome) we provided the opportunity for these performances outside of our usual team adding two new performers for the torch lighting, and enlisting Phoenix Allstars Adaptive Abilities team for the Home Coming event. The payments to these athletes are noted under “professional fees”

• We received the first half of a grant from The Fore to begin our “Hubs project” this grant is for 15k with the first half received in this financial year.

All of the above activities have been carried out with the awareness of the Trustees as to the requirements of the charity to meet its purpose for public benefit and they have had due regard to this, as is their duty to do so.
