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	We continue to produce items for local charities such as the Pocket Park in Calne, Wordfest and a hedgehog rescue charity. Additionally we undertake numerous small projects for local public groups and individuals ensuring we do not take work from local tradespeople. We moved to new larger premises in November 2022 provided by our local council on a peppercorn rent but no secured tenancy. This has improved our offer to our members allowing more people to attend and enabling us to undertake larger projects for the community.
