Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
To offer legal advice and support to those in financial distress who are suffering from issues of disrepair in their rented properties
Having struggled through COVID to maintain the efficacy of the charity for various reasons, we are now back in a position of being back to full operational capacity.
We have continued to enlarge our outreach operations by seeking to affiliate ourselves with local authorities and other third sector organisations with a view to working with these groups to ensure we meet our public benefit objectives.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
We continue to work upon ways we can reach out to members of the public who would benefit from the services we provide. One way we have achieved this is by facilitating a full makeover of our website in order to make it more accessible and efficient.
We have helped a number of service users by way of providing legal advice and support to allow them to rectify the issues of disrepair they faced in their rented properties.
The trustee’s have had due regard to the guidance issued by the charity commission on public benefit
