Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | Noah’s Place sets out to promote social inclusion amongst people with learning difficulties by preventing them from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. |
| 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 |
We have been very fortunate to have managed to overcome many of the obstacles that the coronavirus brought too many activity centres some having to close down or change their activities due to high costs. We have managed to keep Noah’s place running, where possible we have fundraised and our activities have increased. Although it has been hard securing grants we did manage to fundraise once we were allowed contact with the general public for example we once again held tombola’s in shop centres etc, held fundraising activities on our land and held sponsored events. Our vegetable and micro veg gardens have flourished over the year, selling veg on our cart to the general public, at the start of spring many people from our local area look to see what plants we have for sell buying them from Noah’s rather than a garden centre. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | The trustees of Noah’s place have read and understand the guidance set out by the charity commission on public benefit. |

| Contribution made by volunteers |
Para 1.38 | We have a number of volunteers that give their time and wealth of knowledge to help teach life skills to our service users, we are constantly looking for more volunteers as we feel that this not only helps to keep our core costs down but also involves people fromour localcommunity. |

Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| 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 | As we are a charity that supports adults with special support needs we know the struggles are service uses go through on a daily basis. Our aim is to support them, listen to them and show them new skills that can be used outside of Noah’s Place. This has made a huge difference to many of our service users as we know from the many letters of thanks that we get from not only the carers/parents but also from our service users themselves. Since we have been a charity in 2016 and moving to a new area, we have found many in the local community now have more respect and understanding for adults with special support needs, once they have visited us and spoken to our service users, either at one of our open days or when fundraising. |

| that have helped them from being socially excludedfromsociety. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | Fund raising activities brought people together again, as our carnivals and shows came to life again so did our fundraising. We now have organisations that call on us when they hold their events such as the woolsery show and Hartland Carnival to see if we would like to take part. Our local village Hartland British Legion has played a huge part in our fundraising inviting us to hold BBQ outside to raise funds and holding quiz nights. Our sponsored walk was back on with many of our service users taking part as well as a table set up in our local town Bideford where everyone met for their medals and bystanders brought merchandise and had a go on our tombola. Grants have not been easy to come by as Covid is still playing a big part in those less fortunate needing funds, with little left for small charities. Over the course of a month we try to have at least two fundraising activities going on as well as applying for grants. |
||
| Investment performance against objectives |
Para 1.41 | We are in the process of raising funds to become an AQA accredit centre, this will mean that Noah’s Place will be able to run achievement courses with our service users, this we feel will boost their self- esteem while learning new skills. We have invested in growing Micro Veg. this year has seen a good crop which we have then supplied to a local restaurant called Pattards we hope to expand on this further next year. |
