In planning all the charity activities for the year 2022-2023 we have continued to reference the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at Trustee meetings.
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)
The full focus of activities during the year has been to continue to advance the education of the public in the Hawker Typhoon aircraft and their crews, to preserve and protect the project airframe (serial number RB396) and to raise funds towards the first stages of rebuild.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:
-
policy on grant making;
-

contribution made by volunteers.
Some supporters of the charity have continued to make a significant contribution towards the objectives of the team. They volunteer their time to help (some as post holders) which include maintaining the organisation’s headquarters, manage the shop, host events, attend public events (on behalf of the charity) and attend organised presentations to further the objectives. Without their valuable contribution of time, energy, enthusiasm, expertise and on occasions a financial contribution, the project would not have been able to achieve the exposure to the public that has been continued this year.
The trustees wish to place on record our thanks for all the supporter volunteers for their help and their continued support.
