Since then the wider climate justice environment has undergone significant changes and the institutional gap the CJF initially sought to address at least partially been filled. As a result, the trustees considered if and to what extent the organisation still had a role to play. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** The trustees met virtually and discussed a number of options for the CJF’s future including merging with another organisation, revamping the CJF, launching a new initiation or closing down the charity. These options were summarized in a paper and some trustees decided to step down. The remaining trustees plus one new appointee are continuing the discussion about how to reposition the organisation in order to best pursue its objectives.
