March 2012

In planning our activilies we are mindful of the Charity Commission's
guidance on public benefit at our Irustee meetings.
Our activities focus on four themes:
1 Increasing knowledge.. we provide advice surgeries for carers, training
and Information workshops.
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)
2. Advocacy Raising issues and concerns affecting ethnic minority family
carers wilh slatutory organisations.
3. Outreach support to isolated carers.. We receive referrals from black
and Asian minorily ethnic IBAME) carers and offer an outreach service
particularly If there are language and cultural barriers. This includes
home visiting those that need support, liaising with social services and
other statutory agencies and assisting with advocacyl interpretation.
4. Respite and social interaction: We recognise that carers struggle to get
out so provide respite days out just for carers. We also provide day trips
for families - the carer and the cared for person - with the option for them
to bnng other family members. This gives carers the opportunity to take
a break from the stresses of their lives and to feel less isolated. Where
possible, we facilitate carer social interaction by providing 'coffee
momings. and cultural events.
