Summary of the main
activities undertaken for
the public benefit in
relation to these objects
In planning our activities for the year we keep in mind the Charity
Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.
The main activities are as follows:
1. Parent and Carer Support Meetings
2. Youth Club
3. Activities to help adults and children feel less isolated and
part of the community.
These activities benefit the parents and carers by enabling them to
share experiences in a confidential and relaxed atmosphere, access
information and the opportunity to take a break from their caring
role. Regardless of personal background, faith, gender or personal
circumstances.
The activities benefit the children and young people by developing
their self confidence and social skills, and provide the opportunities
for them to take part in activities they would otherwise be unable
to access .

Additional details of objectives and activities

We are grateful for the many hours volunteers have spent planning, listening to members and fundraising for the group. Without this valuable contribution of time and energy we would not be able to operate.

Achievements and performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the
charity year
Our year:The year has been an unusual one due to the Covid 19
pandemic and the nation and local lock downs. Due to this we have
had no face to face meetings and no youth club meetings.
We have maintained Virtual support for the group through a
member only WhatsApp chat group. This has enabled parents and
carers to get support, vent and celebrate together.
We provide care packs to parents and carers at Christmas and
Mothers Day.
Children and young people were able to receive up to 8 activity
packs, which included Christmas Crafts, Halloween and Easter.
We finally managed to hold out Mountain Monkeys Activity Day
after numerous delays due to the pandemic. 12 children and young
people took part. This enabled the group to see each other for the
first time in over a year in a controlled environment they enjoyed a
day of archery, climbing, shooting and rafting at Carr Mill.
Fundraising: We raised over £400 by selling personalised hand
sanitiser bottles. We also have a stead but small trickle of funds
raised by EasyFundraising and AmazonSmile. We also now have the
opportunity to raise funds from the Millenium shop, where we
receive 50% of all sales that we make.

Financial Review

Brief statement of the Cash at the bank at 23/06/21 was £12,313. £10,000 held is charity’s policy on reserves restricted funds from the Lottery for the Youth Club. The main financial risk to the charity is the reduced ability to raise funds due to the pandemic and lockdowns. We have reduced operational costs and hold enough reserves to cover any unforeseen expenditure that may occur. Details of any funds Not applicable materially in deficit

Further financial review details:

Our main source of funds this year has been through selling personalised items and collaboration with the Millenium Centre Shop. General running costs of the group are low. The main costs are activities, which are planned in advance and are funded by applied for awards and grants.
