To provide a local network group offering support, services and assistance designed to relieve needs, encourage and enable people to participate more effectively with the wider community. 3. To provide social and recreational facilities and events involving the local community, designed to foster community cohesion and raise awareness and understanding of Polish art, culture, heritage and history. 4.

Summary ofthe objects of the charity set out in its governing document PAG Polish Association Gloucestershire Charity Registration Number 1176870 POLISH ASSOCIAMON GLOUCE5fERSHIRE 2021 was still a very challenging year for the organisation. Most activities have been postponed or re-adapted to the national lockdown in the first part of the year. The pandemic also harmed the Polish Saturday school (Polish Academy). We could not run the classes during the lockdown. However, we returned to stationary leaming as soon as the government lifted the restrictions. The classes were held in the local community centre until the end of the 202012021 term. We started to explore more suitable altematives. We contacted local primary schools, and we managed to sign a contract with Kingsway Primary School, and we are renting their building from September 2021. The number of pupils in the Polish Academy has increased, and the new facility provides an ex￿lIent learning environment for our pupils. We also launched a programme dedicated to unpaid polish carers, thanks to the cooperation with Gloucestershire County Council. GCC provided the funding, which enabled us to employ a part-time project officer. It is a fixed one-year contract. 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) Our cultural and fundraising activities were limited because of the restrictions. We managed to organise Polish Heritage Day, but it was not in the traditional format. We also participated in GIOu￿ster History Festival, which was warmly welcomed by the local communty. Despite all difficulties, we balanced the sheets and kept the charity's stable financial health. We want to thank all our volunteers, supporters and donors for their fantastic support during this challenging year. Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional infomiation) PAG Polish Association Gloucestershire Charity Registration Number 1176870 Charity is mainly based on volunteering. The paid positions are the teachers and TA in Supplementary School, which are based on self-employment.

Section D Achievements and performance Summary ofthe main achievements of the charity during the year The most outstanding achievement of this year was Polish Heritage Day. We contacted all local authorities within Gloucestershire and asked them to mark the occasion by raising polish flags on their masts. Their response was positive. Additionally, there were fifty polish flags raised around Gloucester City ￿ntre. We created spectacular aerial footage, and the media response was tremendous. The materials from Gloucestershire have been shown on polish national television (TVP) in their main news servi￿. Agreement with the Kingsway Primary School was a significant achievement. It enabled us further develop the Polish Academy.
