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|**One of this year's key events for**
**fundraising was the opening of “The**
**Friendly Bookshop”. One of our**
**volunteers took this project to his heart**
**and has, (after a lot of work was carried**
**out by other people to actually create**
**the space and stock it with**
**bookshelves) created a really nice**
**second-hand bookshop. The addition on**
**the walls of paintings from Hinckley &**
**District Society of Art further adds to the**
**ambiance. Currently the bookshop**
**raises roughly £120 each week.**
**We are delighted to have installed “The**
**Friendly Bench” at the front of the**
**library. This gives us an opportunity to**
**host events outdoors as well as indoors,**
**as well as helping combat loneliness in**
**the local community. The bench itself,**
**which incorporates high-level planters,**
**is delightful in appearance.**
**From various Covid grants a large HEPA**
**filter has been purchased to help reduce**
**the spread of Covid within the library.**
**A Shires bio-diversity grant from LCC**
**has funded the installation of bird & bat**
**boxes, a hedgehog house, a solitary bee**
**home, bird feeders, a bird bath, two**
**large wall trellises for climbing plants, a**
**compost box and two large wooden**
**planters.**
**S106 monies have been used to**
**purchase two book display cases, two**
**armchairs for volunteers manning the**
**desk, a CO2 monitor, a 4-camera CCTV**| **system, an electronic cash till and a cordless Shark vacuum cleaner. Wriggly Readers continues to go from strength to strength, and we thank the Readers for their superb art works decorating the back wall of the children's library. (As well as** _**another separate display showing our late Queen's meeting with a small Peruvian bear.) We were delighted to be approached by Burbage Community Arts Festival regarding the possibility of a commemorative metal sculpture being sited on our grounds. Needless to say we agreed and “The Wishing Tree” now makes a terrific addition to the locality. Our “Sumup” credit/debit card reader has certainly proved its worth since its purchase shortly before last Christmas. Rather a lot of people no longer carry any cash with them and the reader has earned its cost many times over, enabling painless sales to these folk.**_ **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
