Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	To advance the education of the public in the subject of the history of popular music in the town of Malvern, Worcestershire, by (a) creating an exhibition, (b) establishing and maintaining an online community archive and (c) any other means that the charity trustees think fit to advance the public appreciation of Malvern’s musical heritage.
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	Rock Around the Hills was established in 2016, to raise the funds needed to create an oral history project, an exhibition and an on-line digital archive (Malvern Rock Archivewww.malvernrockarchive.org.uk), working with the local community to focus on the little-known popular musical heritage of the town of Great Malvern, Worcestershire, with special emphasis on the story of rock music performances at Malvern Winter Gardens from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. In February 2024 the charity made an online appeal for funds with which to continue to host and maintain its online digital archive. This online appeal succeeded in raising £422.41, enough to continue to host and maintain the website for around another three to four years.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	When the charity was formed in March 2016, the charity trustees read and understood the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. They have continued to have regard to this guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant throughout the project execution.
