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)		 The Charity has had a challenging year due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
The year started in the same vein as previous years, hosting regular
support groups for recovering alcoholics, on Wednesdays, Fridays and
Saturdays. These meetings were timed to ensure that they could be
attended by people both in and out of work.
When the COVID 19 pandemic hit, face to face groups were stopped.
The charity relied on phone calls and emails between members to help
members stay sober and stay connected. Online meetings were trialled
but uptake was very low due to technological constraints faced by group
members.
Face to face meetings resumed as soon as possible with appropriate risk
assessments and precautions, but this was limited to once per week as
one of our venues was closed and the other had severely limited opening
times.
The charity tried to find alternative venues for meetings but this proved
challenging as venues were closed or had no availability.
When Manchester was placed into tier 3 restrictions, meetings continued
as support groups for people with addictions were permitted. This was
mainly because of the generosity of volunteers at the venue we use
opening especially for us.
Group numbers have been limited by the size of the room available to us
and as such recruitment of new members has suffered.
Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions, the charity has not provided
any social activities this year. These will resume as and when the
situation permits.
The trustees believe that the decisions made during this challenging year
have been made in regard to the guidance issued by the charity
commission.
