3. TO HELP YOUNG PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH SPORTING ACTIVITIES, SO AS TO DEVELOP THEIR CAPACITIES AND SO THAT THEY GROW TO FULL MATURITY AS INDIVIDUALS AND MEMBERS OF SOCIETY.
**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)**
In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustees meetings.
The focus of our activities in our sixth year was to continue to strengthen the links with pupils at Mnyakanya High School, and other schools in South Africa, with pupils at St Mary’s Menston school, other local UK schools, Leeds University and Leeds Trinity University.
Preparatory work has continued with Mnyakanya School and South African partners to develop a Sports Pitch for the school and wider community. Work has continued to embed the ‘Cycling to Success’ programme. Despite volunteer visits to South Africa being postponed or cancelled due to Covid-19 this year a number of fundraising events have helped support establish The Bambisanani Athletics Challenge as a virtual pilot programme with primary schools in South Africa and Leeds. Funds also helped complete the rebuilding homes for Vumanhlamvu School community following fires in the region. Pilot activities in the ‘virtual space’ have developed not only in Athletics but also with a Higher Education initiative linking Physical Education and Sports Coaching students from both countries.
Extensive time has been invested over the last year developing existing partnerships and developing new ones with a view to future collaborations, including with the KZN Department of Sport and Recreation, KZN Department of Higher Education, KZN Cycling, South African High Commission, British Council and the Sport at the Service of Humanity Foundation.
Despite all the frustrations with Covid-19 this has been a very productive year for the partnership.
