Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular providing activities and events in the interests of social welfare. This is achieved through recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.
Achievements and performance
With the year being hit by COVID 19 and restrictions we have had to find other ways to support the community until our groups could resume. We started a food exchange project and a Street Art project. The majority of our groups resumed from April 2021 and have grown significantly.
The new projects have been a saviour to many, sometimes providing food when they had been let down by others. We saw a vast array of people attending and requesting our services. Our Street Art project has been a visual benefit to the area and have had a positive effect within our community. Along with our festive events that were mobile around our community we have now become a well known charity in our locality.

The net receipts for the year were £16, including net payments of £360 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £376 on restricted funds.
Reserves policy
