		1. We did some public lectures in 2022,
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	but volunteer time was mostly spent preparing reports for publication and archiving data in the publically accessible Archaeological Data Service. We also started a new collaborative project, with staff from the British Geological Survey, investigating the geochemistry of the flint from previous excavations. 2. The charity is managed by a board of Trustees who have had regard to the Charity Commissioners guidance on safeguarding and public benefit. The finances, which are considered satisfactory, are carefully controlled but did not, this year, require an independent examination. 3. Our present focus is to engage with two other charities with sites known to have been visited by Late Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers, which, together with a site which we have investigated, are all within the watershed of the river Trent.
