| 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. |
The Charity has been active in expanding to incorporate other local areas and this expansion is ongoing. There is currently a project in the process of development following the adoption of land to include additional member services within the community. Further future developments await funding but current targets are being met and expansion has been made possible by the community need for such projects to be developed. So far the additional hubs opened over the last few years have been successful, subject to the cooperation of local authorities. Over the last year this has been delayed by planning and local authorities funding issues. |
