| 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 | As described in the summary of main activities, LAERA was essentially dormant throughout the year. This was a result of forced suspension of group activities due to Covid at the beginning of the year, and loss of momentum among the remaining committee and volunteers when activities finally became legally possible. The Trustees continued informal discussions about whether there was any point in attempting to continue with LAERA, as it has struggled to establish an active support base since inception as a registered charity in 2017. These discussions led to liaison with another local group that shares many of LAERA’s aims, to consider if there were potential ways of merging. As the other group was progressing to become a charity, discussions were paused for the remainder of the year, pending their anticipated securing of charity status in 2022. |
