**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
The objects of the Trust are to advance such charitable purposes (According to the law of England and Wales) as the trustees see fit from time to time in particular but not limited to funding and / or organising the training of disabled or disadvantaged adults or children who wish to participate in the sport of Scuba Diving by the issue of grants or awards

**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)**|The funding opportunities the trust plan to offer will make access to the sport
more affordable,
particularly for the disabled, as often the training required, even at basic level
requires
additional staff or equipment, thereby increasing costs.
All training would be arranged through relevant, specialist organisations such as,
but not
limited to:
IAHD (International Association of Handicapped Divers)
The Scuba Trust,
BSAC (British Sub Aqua Club), or
PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors).
All recognised as worldwide diving certificates.
The training would be available nationally, dependant on individual needs and
accessibility.
The benefits of having the trust to assist will be that we can raise awareness of
the sport
through our marketing efforts, and point out the health benefits, both physical
and mental to
those that choose to partake.
During the early stages of training participants will quickly realise that they, no
matter what
their abilities will be participating on an equal footing with their peers, whatever
their social
status or physical ability. This sport is a great leveller. It builds confidence,
improves health
and wellbeing, and is also a very “social” activity, encouraging social interactivity.
If participants should choose to further their training, they will be encouraged to
do so, and who knows what may lie ahead.
They could become Instructors, Dive Guides, Underwater photographers, or any
one of a
myriad of industry related occupations that may present themselves worldwide.
Examples include but are not limited to Dive shop or School operators,
Equipment
manufacturers, Marine Biology, Marine archaeology etc|

## Section D Achievements and erformance p
**Summary of the main** Further to the report submitted last year, COVID took it’s toll all over the world, **achievements of the charity during the year** and this only proved to confirm that our decision to close the charity down as we had no interaction at all, no income no intertest in training, so we are now applying to close down. This decision is very regrettable
