The activities undertaken for the public benefit included: - Operating the public conveniences and keeping them maintained. - Fundraising and collecting public donations to support the charity’s objectives and activities. - Applying for revenue grants to support the charity’s objectives and activities. - Applying for a capital grant for installation of a ground-mounted solar PV system. - Representing the charity in discussions and meetings with other local stakeholders regarding the improvement of the car parking and wider facilities at Llangorse Common. During the year, the trustees were successful in applying to PAVO’s “Rebuilding Community Foundations in Powys” fund for a grant to install a ground-mounted solar PV system to help power the charity’s facilities. The system was installed towards the end of the reporting period, and it is hoped that the new facility will contribute positively towards reducing the charity’s energy expenditure in the future and help to reduce our carbon footprint. The ground works required for the solar PV system also presented an opportunity to renew the boundary fencing of the community toilets, as well as undertaking much-needed landscaping to ensure the safety and enjoyment of members of the public. During the year the trustees continued to participate in meetings with other stakeholders and Powys County Council to work towards a solution to the current condition and future maintenance of the car park at Llangorse Common along with the management of the wider common area. At the reporting date, considerable positive progress had been made towards the setting up of a constituted management group (Llangorse Common Management Group) on which the charity will have representation. Further, Powys County Council have been successful in securing a grant from the UK Government Levelling Up Fund to resurface the car park, which will also include two disabled parking bays located directly adjacent to the charity’s facilities. It is hoped that further positive progress on this matter can be reported in next year’s annual return. In undertaking our activities for the year the trustees have kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The sustainable public toilet facilities on Llangorse Common benefit the health and social wellbeing of all residents and visitors to the community. It is recognised that in particular, certain groups such as the elderly, disabled, children and those suffering from bladder or bowel conditions will benefit the most from the continued provision of public toilet facilities in Llangorse for years to come. **TAR** 3 ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** During the period, the charity successfully raised £4,092.13 in donations from members of public using the public toilets and local business collection boxes.
