| 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 . |

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. |
