Objectives and Activities

|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To relieve the needs of care leavers for the public benefit, in particular but not exclusively by: 1) Providing grants of financial assistance to care leavers in financial need. 2) Providing advice, information, mentoring and support designed to develop their skills, capacities and capabilities, to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals. |
| 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 |
The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties. In offering peer-to-peer led support, through its local and pan-London groups, The After Care Group supports the well-being of care experienced young people. The charity aims to offers all its services at either no or very low cost; arranges its activities so that they are accessible to both working and non-working care leavers, It strives to be open to all sections of the community and sees developing this as a key aspect of its future work. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | The trustees have met on a quarterly basis since the charity was registered. Meetings are been concerned to date principally with establishing the appropriate systems for running the charity as well as overseeing the operation of the charity’s groups and the provision of services to members. The trustees are, in particular, now working on a medium term (three to five year) strategy to direct the charity’sgrowth and development. |
Achievements and Performance

| 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 | The charity spent significant resources during the period in establishing itself as a properly constituted organisation, with appropriate governance and management systems. These efforts have continued since the period end and form the basis of the charity’s developing strategy, which focusses on three key themes: sustain, consolidate and upscale. To date the charity has formed key relationship with a number of leaving care teams across London. We have also sort to establish other referral pipelines by attending networking events. |
Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The charity had no income or expenditure during the period. The accounts for the period, drawn up on a receipts and payments basis, therefore indicate zero funds at both the start and end of the period. The charity had no assets or known liabilities at the period end. The trustees are working, as at the date of this report, on putting in place appropriate financial systems and controls, beyond those necessary to manage its bank account. The trustees do currently see fundraising as a high priority for the charity, both because of the need to allocate resources to other matters, but also reflecting the continuing nature of the charity as a low-cost organisation, supported entirely by volunteers. |
