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 main achievements have been the
products that live on. Drama and singing
only last as long as when they are being
performed. But we created a legacy of
writing books, distributed throughout the
community and available in the library. The
beneficiaries have benefited by cancelling
loneliness, by making friends and by having
a great deal of fun. It can be very difficult to
smile when you are mentally ill, but the
activities of Stepping Stone actually get
people laughing. We have benefited the
great community by sharing our informative
broadcast, Both Sides Of The Medication
Cart, and by performing to large audiences
our stories and triumphs.| |Additional information (optional)
