Public benefit statement
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.
Summary of the main achievements during the period
This past year has been extremely hard for the centre, when we were able to open we were proud that we were able to help the local community by donating food, toys and equipment to the most vulnerable. Following delivering these items to local families during the pandemic we saw a need for a weekly food bank and were successful in applications to the following, DEFRA, Nottinghamshire Community Foundation, Local Councillors Fund and Awards for All which means that we are able to offer food, toiletries and some clothing to local people at our Tuesday food bank which is open until 31[st] March 2022, we are opening to secure further funding to extend this a further year.
We have also been able to offer holiday provision to some of the most vulnerable young people in the local area and wish to thank the Renewal Trust, Nottingham City Council, Children in Need and Nottinghamshire Community Foundation for funding these activities.
The charity’s policy on reserves
The charity has no specific policy with regard to the level of reserves.
