Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The provision of swimming support, water therapy, carer respite and social activities to people of all ages who have physical, mental health or learning disabilities (and their carers) in the Wimborne and East Dorset area, in a safe and friendly environment to improve their health and wellbeing.
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.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	We offer 2 supported one hour sessions at QE Leisure Centre Wimborne on a Saturday morning. Here our volunteer teachers and helpers assist the members if they require it. The aquatic activities include advice on individual swim technique, training for Galas, water therapy and pool games. They also assist with advice and guidance if necessary to the carer/parent/partner to aid the swimmer. For the more able and independent swimmer who attends the swim session it can provide respite for the carer/parent/partner. This year due to end of COVID restrictions the pool was open all year. The Trustees considered these activities met the Clubs Charitable objectives. We monitor and review our services every year. We ensure our funds and donations meet the aims and objectives we requested them for.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity	Para 1.18	The Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

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.	Para 1.20	The Club continues to offer aquatic activities for those with disabilities. Members benefit by participating in activities such as swimming, playing games and general free movement in the water. Members have continued to benefit from the 2 hour pool session at QE Leisure Centre. This has enabled us to provide a semi-structured approach to the sessions. We also provide parent/carer respite. This year due to fallout from COVID there has not been the opportunity to compete in Galas. The website is regularly updated with the Club’s activities, future events, policies and news. The Club also has a Facebook page. The social activities enable our disabled members to access the local community safely and feel less isolated. This year many social events were organised including a Spring social, Panto trip, cream teas and our Xmas party. All the activities of the Club aim to increase the confidence, health and well-being and self-esteem of our members.
