governing document		 Para 1.17 The objects of the CIO are for the
public benefit and are based on
the Christian principles of loving,
caring, and standing with those
most in need:
1. To relieve the charitable needs
of people who are homeless, at
risk of homelessness or
recovering from homelessness
and who either have a local
connection to Rother District or
who are currently present in
Bexhill Town Wards, East
Sussex, by working with such
people and others to provide or
support the provision of support
services, including where
appropriate, for their pet
animals.
2. For the avoidance of doubt
‘homelessness’ is understood to
mean a lack of safe, secure,
affordable and permanent
accommodation.
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		 HUG runs a ‘drop in’ centre at St
Barnabus church in Sea Road Bexhill on
three days a week, where Homeless
people can get a meal, a shower and
change of clothes if required.
HUG also helps in trying to get homeless
people accommodation, so they do not
have to live on the streets and those at
risk of losing their home.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 The Trustees confirm that they have had
