The objects of the CIO are: 1. The prevention or relief of poverty of the socially and economically disadvantaged communities, in particular but not exclusively the ethnic minority community in the London boroughs of Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham and Brent by providing information, advocacy and support activities and services. 2.

In planning our activities, we have kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The trustees have considered the guidance as set out in PB1, PB2 and PB3 in relation to public benefit as issued by the Charity Commission. The trustees have taken the guidance into consideration when planning activities for the year. Such guidance and how it relates to undertaking the charity’s work has been reviewed at general trustee meetings throughout the year.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity during
the year		 Having weathered the storm that is covid, we contnue to rise to the challenge
to stay afoat in a climate that has severely impacted small charites such as
ours.
We facilitate a community hub in North Westminster where local people can
come together for a range of actvites; receive informaton, advice, and
guidance with some detailed follow up 1:1 work. One of the key projects we
have been running since May 2018 is The Parents Space, a series of weekly
Drop-In sessions. In December 2020, we were fortunate contnued funding was
awarded from the People’s Health Trust for this project. This project is due to
end in December 2022.
Post Covid, certain actvites have proved popular and in demand. A challenge
was to fnd new and innovatve ways of keeping them going. Actvites included:
Gardening; Sewing & Crafs; Smoothie Making & Juicing; Mindfulness/Yoga and
Walking & Cycling groups. All these actvites contribute to stronger
communites, have a positve impact on the mental health and well-being of
partcipants and are part of our vision for developing our space as a wellbeing
hub where local people can access such actvites at low cost of for free.
A summary of our main actvites throughout the year include:
1) Weekly drop in and lunch social with follow up appointments assistng with
a range of formal correspondence for ESOL speakers and those who fnd
bureaucracy a challenge. (PHT)
2) Weekly Sewing and Crafs class where people new to sewing were taught
how to use a sewing machine safely and produce a range of small items
such as: Pin cushions; Cushion covers and Table runners. (CPP)
3) We wanted to develop our service using volunteers. With some dedicated
funding from the Natonal Lotery Community Fund, we were able to pilot a
more focussed approach to using volunteers and evaluate the impact an
upskilled team of volunteers has on our service delivery. Volunteers were
given training opportunites. (NLCF)
4) Following an identfed a need for local people to be more actve and
improve their overall health and mental wellbeing, we delivered a series of
weekly wellbeing actvites: Yoga (CPP), and Pilates (MLG)
5) We were fortunate to receive some unrestricted funds to help us with
returning to some normality post covid. We contnued with some simple
safety measures as we returned to out traditonal delivery mode of in-house
groups and face to face actvites. (CCLORS)
6) Fortunate to operate form our own premises, we can have much autonomy
with when/how projects are delivered. We are grateful to any unrestricted
funds we receive that enable us to meet any unexpected costs associated
with managing a building.

Section E Financial review

Unfortunately, this has reduced since last financial year and we remain dissatisfied with this level of free reserves and seek to increase this. We are exploring ways in which these reserves can be increased and maintained to cover about 3-6 months operations.
