| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identfying the diference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its benefciaries and any wider benefts to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | We contnue to have the means set up for regular giving, and one-of gifs. We were excited to see the frst CGGS school trip post Covid. Reviews saw this as a great success from both sides and has highlighted areas in which this can grow moving forward. Future trips are planned. Money raised was split between the preschool, foster care and outreach programmes, at the discreton of the Community Project. As there was both a CGGS trip and a Hope Church trip during the Summer, there was more of an opportunity to build relatonships in person and respond accordingly to needs. The Calday team invested a lot of tme and energy into the local Community, running events and tutoring through the young people who come to Ithuteng. The youth from Hope Church also ran some actvites for the Key Stage 2 children, who are roughlytheir age. |
