OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The relief of people with disabilities and their families for the public benefit in particular but not exclusively by:
Providing opportunities for them that support and enable the creation of sustained life strategies, healthy lifestyles and support networks with the aim of promoting social cohesion and a greater understanding between them and different social groups;
Challenging perceptions of disability and other marginalised sectors of society and by supporting the creation of a community where all people can be regarded as equals irrespective of personal situation;
Creating a rural environment where people with disabilities can develop strategies and initiatives that aim to prevent or reduce poverty and isolation/exclusion through the creation of personal and educational training
opportunities alongside other minority groups; and by
Providing them with opportunities to develop themselves, experience greater community support and networking for their benefit without fear of judgement or discrimination.
Significant activities
The main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objectives are as follows;

Public benefit
The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Volunteers
We continue to receive support from volunteers within our community for a number of activities based around outdoor learning and development of our horticulture programmes.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
As a charity we have continued to offer support and crisis intervention to people within our community. We have continued to see ramifications following the pandemic. We have also seen growing needs of the young people and adults that we work with. As Trustees we feel that we have achieved much since our start in 2016. We have see the charity grow and develop and support many people. After nearly ten years at the helm we will be stepping down to allow new Trustees to take over in 2025 so the charity can continue to grow and develop. We will scale down our funding applications during this time so that the new trustees and staff will be able to set their own targets and goals.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
We feel that the has been a challenging time to find sustainable financial core funding for the charity and have sough our new partnerships to ensure that we can continue as a charity.
Principal funding sources
Our principle source of fundraising was from charitable grants and from the provision of short breaks. We will continue to seek out opportunities for funding via charitable grants and partnerships over the coming year that will support the new structure proposed.
Investment policy and objectives
We will continue to invest in our community and our staff and endeavour to find opportunities for them to continue to develop by offering opportunities for learning and training.
Reserves policy
We do not hold reserves to allow for emergency repairs and expenditure this year.
Going concern
The challenges of Coronavirus followed by the financial climate has meant that funding opportunities are still restricted. Further partnerships have been sought and it has been agreed that the current Trustees will step down to allow for new Trustees to move the charity forwards in lines wit the needs of our community.
Principal Risks
The principal risks facing the charity are as follows;
General change in the charitable grants available and economic climate at the moment Seeking out new avenues of funding for core activities Ensuring smooth handover to new Trustees
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
