Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.
Over the year the Charity did not operate fully due to Pandemic and focusing on existing charity operations. The original intention of transferring from an old charity into a CIO structure did not complete and other circumstances meant that we were unable to fully put the charity in operation (opening and linking accounts, setting structure, implementing campaigns, transferring assets from old charity trust etc). Everything was put on hold.
