development of literacy During the year the charity delivered 2 day story writing workshops to year 5 children from Carlton Road Academy in Boston and 1 day workshops to year 2 children. The children were walked by their teachers to Fydell House which is owned by Boston Preservation Trust. We also delivered similar workshops for children from Monks Abbey Primary School in Lincoln using Greyfriars (owned by Lincolnshire Heritage) and the community room in Lincoln Central Library.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
121 year 5 children took part and 155 from year 2. The year 2 children created their stories together and the year 5s each wrote a story. The only child failing to create a story had only joined their school the day before the workshop and English was their second language. The children all received a certificate and their stories were edited, uploaded to our website and printed into books. They each received a copy and they were also displayed at Lincoln Central Library. We attended Boston Bookfest where a number of children attended with their parents.
Feedback from both children and their teachers was very positive and both schools would like more workshops.
We have been offered use of The Venue at Bishop Grosseteste University for workshops and their teacher training department are keen to involve trainee teachers to show them another approach to teaching.
In planning the above work the Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

## Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Successfully trialled taking children out of school and using Heritage buildings. This has enabled us to refine what we offer and started building us a bigger evidence base of effectiveness. It has also resulted in our being written into a tender by Heritage Lincolnshire which will enable us to deliver some work in Grimsby in the new year.
