Achievements against objectives set	Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	We are proud to have achieved majority of our objectives, however, we are still not in the financial position to provide shelter for the homeless though we provide support through food banks, clothes donation etc. We are also still not able to provide counselling for the underage due to the policy and regulations and the limited expertise and experience. Hence why our key personnel have not been in a position to require disclosure. We therefore support them by making a referral and suggest specialists organisation who are able to help.
