**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.

Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
- We got a great response from our performances, ◦ The torch lighting lead to further connections with the national Paralympics museum and links with possible future opportunities.
- ◦ The Homecoming event gave Phoenix Allstars from Bristol an opportunity to perform and be paid appropriately for that performance, and our input was well received by the organisers
- • Our hubs project met a number of barriers in terms of teams willing to take up the opportunity and the university we had a connect with doing a refurb on their facilities meaning the project had to be pushed back.
- • We delivered the Adaptive Abilities workshop to national federation heads at the ICU World championships 2022.
