We are a CIO with a board of 3 trustees at present. 

As per the constitution section 10 the rules for the recruitment of trustees are as follows; 

## 10. Appointment of charity trustees 

- (1) Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed [for a term of [three] years] or indefinitely by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. 

(2) In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO 

Our objectives are as follows as per the constitution 

## 3. Object[s] 

The object[s] of the CIO is: 

**To provide a greater opportunity for the less privileged in the society. Through enhanced training, development and education programs leading to employment. Providing food bank, recreational facilities, working with youths, especially young offenders to ensure that they are off the streets, by providing information and advice about help and support available from us and other organizations. Working with local businesses to create apprenticeships and job opportunities for the benefit of the society, running community events and organizing day trips for service users, thereby building a closer community.** 

During 2021 the charity carried out 1 day trip to Whipsnade Zoo for children and families in the local community. 

This trip was fully funded by Divine Purpose with 57 people in attendance. 



40 children and 17 adults. 

The group was collected from the pick-up point by coach and taken to Whipsnade Zoo for the day. Returning the same evening by coach. 

This was to enable families to escape their local community, creating new experiences and creating memories. Many families attending,  would not usually have the opportunity to  visit Whipsnade due to price and location. 

The children had the opportunity to see the animals, spend time with family/friends, move around a vast amount of space and also play in the soft play and parks within Whipsnade  Zoo. 

The charity was given £1300 in funding towards this ttrp by The Wakeham Trust and the £605.91 was funded by 2 members of the trustees. 

We have no outstanding debts at present and no funds in the account. There are no reserves set aside. 

This year we are following on with our vision to obtain a small premises in order to carry out support in the way of our objectives. Several organisations were approached in the hope of securing a venue to no avail. 

This is our primary concern, which will allow us to run as a drop-in service and we joke to be up and running by the end of 2022.
