|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|(1) Such exclusive charitable objects and<br>purposes, for the public benefit, in any<br>part of the world as the charity trustees<br>may in their discretion think fit.<br>(2) Nothing in this constitution shall<br>authorise an application of the property<br>of the CIO for the purposes which are<br>not charitable in accordance with section<br>7 of the Charities and Trustee<br>Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and<br>section 2 of the Charities Act (Northern<br>Ireland) 2008.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or services<br>identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|The Novia Foundation was established to<br>support projects and initiatives for the benefit<br>of people in and around the city of Bath, and<br>other parts of the UK at the discretion of the<br>trustees. The charity does so by raising<br>funds through fundraising activities and the<br>receipt of donations which it in turn uses to<br>provide grants to local charities and<br>initiatives that align with its objects. The<br>charity’s trustees have, since the reporting<br>period, agreed that the charity should<br>specifically focus on helping those it<br>supports to ‘pursue their potential together’<br>(its ‘Purpose’) and to broaden its support for<br>charities and initiatives further afield in the<br>London and Salisbury area.|
|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para 1.18|The trustees were provided with additional<br>training at the end of the reporting period on<br>the Charity Commission’s guidance on<br>public benefit, are aware of the charity’s<br>objects and exercise their powers and duties<br>with regard to the Commission’s guidance<br>on public benefit.|

|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|The Novia Foundation continued to support<br>good causes during 2022. The ongoing<br>impact of the pandemic and trustee and<br>volunteer turnover however meant that the<br>charity’s volunteering and fundraising<br>activities were somewhat curtailed. The<br>composition of the charity’s board of trustees<br>has since undergone renewal with a new<br>Chair having been appointed at the end of<br>the reporting period. Great efforts have been<br>made by the Novia Foundation to raise more<br>funds and provide greater assistance to<br>those it supports in accordance with the<br>charity’s Purpose and objects.|
