Summary of Main Artivities Undertaken for the Public Benefit: In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission Guidance on public benefit at our trustees meetings. The main artivities are as follows: Community Training café. Design of personal development of our volunteers and member. A programme of activities for children and young adults. Signposting and advocacy. These activities benefit our volunteers and members by developing their self- confidence and social skills, their practical employment and life skills, providing opportunities to become volunteers. We welcome all. regardless of personal background, faith, gender. or other circumstances. We are grateful for the many hours volunteers have spent listening to and encouraging our community. Without this valuable contribution of time, energy, and expertise we would not have been able to achieve so much. Summary of Main Achievements of the Charlty during the year. We are very grateful for the grants and fundraising that took part throughout the year. In December we were able to put in Christmas events for 250 children and their parents. Through the hard work of our volunteers we were able to provide housing for two owls from the Owl Sanctuary and to increase our flock of ducks and chickens. After many years of striving to obtain funding for our car park we were finally able to resurface this area. As Trustees we would like to thank all those who put in so many hours to work in the grounds
and café and to those who gave up their time to provide advocacy service for members. Future Plans: This coming year we plan to enable a struggling community to flourish, with events and activities continuing to build autism awareness.
