All Trustees are aware of the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission, and we make every effort to abide by this in the conduct of our business.

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main** Due to the Coronavirus pandemic the charity sought clarification from **achievements of the charity** Powys County Council as to the policy regarding keeping toilets open **during the year** during national lockdowns. The decision was taken to keep the toilets open at all time to serve the needs of NHS staff on shift-work, the ‘bluelight’ services and key workers in general. As many of the volunteer cleaners are elderly, measures were taken to recruit younger volunteers such members of the Young Farmers’ Club, and people who were on furlough from their usual work. Consultations with Powys County Council as planning authority, and with Erwood Community Council were initiated concerning their views on the possible building of a toilet for the disabled with baby-changing facilities. They advised a wider community consultation which took place during August 2020.  This new additional toilet building would require using part of the existing bus shelter.

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

**Brief statement of the** While we have no formal reserves policy, with the agreement of all **charity’s policy on reserves** Trustees, kept some money in reserve.  Generally, the maintenance of a toilet by the local community is greatly appreciated but there has been occasional vandalism and reserves are necessary for these unexpected repairs.  The charity hopes in 2021 to conduct a major capital project by building a new disabled toilet.
