## 3 Activities 

## 3.1 Statutory Declaration 

The Trustees of Cambourne One confirm that they have paid due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## 3.2 Girls Club 

Since it began operating in 2018, the charities well established club for girls, continues to serve children from the age of school years 7 to 13.  The club’s purpose is to impart knowledge of the Islamic faith to the extent that it prepares young adults to be responsible citizens that strive for the betterment of society, in their professional and personal capacities. 

The club continues to be held weekly during school term time, at a local secondary school facilities, that the charity has continued to hire at a preferential competitive rate.  The club is structured to provide a balanced vocational learning and development experience, through teaching and social gatherings over dinner.  The club provides a friendly and supportive environment, encouraging all attendees to fulfil their potential from formal learning and in developing soft skills.  Attendees learn to maintain respect for one another and acknowledge opinions of others; develop teamwork, confidence and emotional intelligence. 

The club continues to be a proven and successful provision for young children and teenagers to regularly meet socially in a disciplined and fun environment, providing an essential service.  Satisfaction has remained consistently high, with both attendees and parents remaining committed to attendance, funding and volunteering time to support the club. Attendance has continued to grow, by 16.7% over the past year 

With concerns over Covid, the club have not been able, as in the past, to arrange several recreational visits offsite combined with parties, marking the end of club terms and years. The parties have been successful in encouraging parents, their children, club representatives and volunteers to meet informally and discuss development. 

Publicity of the club has been largely and successfully viral, with “word of mouth” attracting growth in attendees from within the local community and surrounding areas.  The structure and content of the club remains unique within the area; other parties have expressed interest in observing and learning from the success of the club with a view to replicating them. 

The club continues to consider introducing digital learning tools and methods as well as investing in equipment, to enhance learning.

## 5.2 Policy on Reserves

a) to preserve the financial viability of the Charity in the event that unforeseen and/or unavoidable circumstance precipitate a short-term fall in its income; 

b) to enable the Charity, in the interests of meeting its objectives, to undertake from time to time the setting up of new and innovative projects on a pilot basis to demonstrate the viability and potential benefits of such activities as a precursor to securing the external funding necessary to maintain such projects on an on-going basis. 

For these purposes the Charity will endeavour to generate and maintain reserves which are at least 50% of its annual turnover.
