Objectives and Activities

| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 |
The Trust supports activities and organisations that serve the wellbeing, education and development of children and their families living in Somers Town. By working with children from an early age alongside their families, we believe their quality of life can be improved and opportunities for education and employment broadened. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Currently we are fundraising to support the work of the Edith Neville Family Centre which: • Promotes parental engagement with children’s education, physical development and health from birth to get them ‘school ready’ for reception. • Offers 1:1 family assessment to all new families and helps target the right support and services to the families • Supports parents to support their children in school • Provides stepping stones and signposting for ‘hard to reach’ families so they can access medical and social services, training and the wealth of world class resources and amenities available just around the corner • Provides parent support sessions tailored to meet the families’ needs • Social Integration – Family Swimming is especially constructive introducing mothers not only to swimming with their small children but also the library and to each other. |
| The Family Centre encourages social integration and community cohesion by bringing together families in the community including Bengali families (57% of the local population) and Somali families (18% of the local population) and the wider community within South Camden. |

Para 1.20 | The Edith Neville Family Centre has received direct funding which, together with grants from SCCT grant has ensured that its work could continue until March 2024. This year SCCT itself received a grant ‘Camden Giving’, which has been passed on to the Family Centre. SCCT also made a small donation to Scene and Heard, a charity running drama workshops for children locally. |
Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | SCCT has distributed all its restricted funds to Edith Neville Primary School’s Family Centre. The trustees decided to hand the charity over to new people once all funds raised had been disbursed appropriately. After a small donation to another organisation working with children locally, it holds only £9 in reserve, enough to meet small outstanding liabilities. The new trustees will continue to raise funds for the Family Centre and other local causes. |
