Objectives and activities The charity's objectives are to provide social and leisure opportunities for the benefit of people living in the Black Country and Birmingham, in particular but not exclusively: people with a learning disability; those experiencing social exclusion. or other difficult circumstances, with the object of increasing their social networks, promoting independence and increasing community inclusion. It does this through delivering a programme of regular and one-off social and leisure activities that our members request. Achievements and performance We are pleased to advise that we were able to increase the number of events which we held this year. Activities included day trips to the seaside and other attractions, regular walks, cinema and theatre visits, meals out, craft activities, gardening, live music and sports. Further details are available on our website. Jigsaw Events CIO The Charity has provided advocacy support and other assistance to individual members with learning disabilities. Over the last year we have also taken steps to increase our contacts with other charitable organisations within Sandwell and the surrounding area with a view to increasing the number of people we support and promoting mutual assistance. Financial review The Charity obtains its funds from grant income, together with some fundraising and smaller donations. The main grant in the year was from the National Lottery under the Reaching Communities provisions. This was part of a funding agreement covering a four-year period from April 2020. In practice, the funds from the National Lottery were not fully spent in that period, largely because of restrictions due to the Covid pandemic. Therefore, we now believe these funds, together with other smaller donations and grants, should enable the Charity to operate successfully until at least 31st March 2025. The Charity has applied for additional funding for future years.
