Summary ofthe purposes of Para 1.17 1)Toadvance the Christian
faith across
the charity as set out in its the nations
by carrying
out missionary
and
governing document outreach
work and partnering
with other
organisations
who share this purpose.
2)To prevent and relieve poverty across
the nations
by fundraising
and provision
of
items for people
in need, partnering
with
organisations
in other nations as necessary
to achieve this goal,
3) To promote
education across the
nations to enhance
life prospects
by
partnering

accounts. of2021, even when
international
travel was
allowed
during some parts ofthe year.
Therefore, for the second successive year,
focus was again tumed onto how we could
support
our overseas partners
here in the
U.K. Our partnering
organisation
Stepping-
Stone Missions
in Romania
made
significant
progress
with their new project
called "Bring them Home" so we sought
ways to fundraise
to assist this project,
which has the aim of building a safe house
to protect and prevent young
girls in
Romania
from the evils ofsex trafficking.
Unfortunately,
the applications
we made to
third
art
funders
in 2020 to assist the
launch ofthe above project proved
unsuccessful,
so instead
during
November,
we repeated a similar fundraising
event
to
the one undertaken
during 2020, by
conducting
a sponsored
virtual
walk/run
or
cycle from our home city Hull to JVJedgidia,
Romania. As a group we raised funds
by
"virtually" travelling
the 3038km distance
by
road between
the two cities
This activity was based around
our heart
to
see the three charitable objectives of
Grassroots
Global being fulfilled,
in
fundraising
for and partnering
with an
overseas organisation,
which advances the
Christian
faith and works tirelessly to
alleviate
poverty and deprivation
in its
community,
by assisting
children
to
succeed
in education
and also by
protecting
girls especially as they get older,
so they too can have life opportunities
not
thwarted
and threatened
by those who
would seek to cause them harm.
Statement confirming Para 1.1S When planning
our activities for 2021, the
whether the trustees have trustees
considered

had regard to the guidance guidance
on public benefit.
issued by the Charity
Commission on public Within the scope ofour purposes
we would
benefit normally
give regard to public benefit by;
a) Giving Chdistians
from local churches
in
our home city Hull, the opportunity
to
participate
in short term mission, so that
they were able to practically
help people
Jess fortunate
than themselves
in another
country and demonstrate
God's love in a
practical way. For 2021, we adapted
this
by
ananging
fundraising
events at home, so
that people could still demonstrate
God's
love remotely.
b) Supporting
the overseas partner
organisation,
sothat they received
resources
and support from the UK and a
supply of people to assist with their work
on a short term basis. For 202t this was
adapted
to whatever
support
could be
provided
practically,
financially
and
spiritually,
in a remote manner.
