## **Objectives and Activities** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|**To advance the education of the public**<br>**in relation to history, natural**<br>**environment and social and cultural**<br>**development of Pendle Hill and its**<br>**surrounding area ie NE Lancashire.**<br>**Stimulate and develop interest in Park**<br>**Hill and any cultural/educational activity**<br>**associated with Park Hill. In furtherance**<br>**of the same to raise funds to provide**<br>**amenities for Park Hill, acquire items for**<br>**the Museum, support schemes which**<br>**fulfil the objects of Pendle Heritage**<br>**Centre (PHC).  Defray legitimate**<br>**expenses. Undertake activities**<br>**necessary to the attainment of the above**<br>**activities.**|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.<br>**A**|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|**We aimed to carry out a programme of**<br>**eight talks on heritage, historical,**<br>**heritage and archaeology related**<br>**matters and along with Pendle**<br>**Archaeology Group (PAG), a sub group**<br>**of the Friends, provide educational and**<br>**informative walks. However many of**<br>**these activities were curtailed by the**<br>**lockdown requirements of the Covid**<br>**pandemic.  We resumed activities as**<br>**and when we were able to. Cancellations**<br>**also included a tour to a local mediaeval**<br>**Hall, Himalayan Gardens and our own**<br>**money raising Garden Event.**<br>**We have maintained communication**<br>**with our membership and the general**<br>**public via monthly e mail or Mailchimp,**<br>**a bi annual hard copy newsletter – to**<br>**members, posters and via our website.**<br>**We have given financial support to PHC**<br>**in the form of shelving for storage areas,**<br>**tables for the barn. For the café - tables,**<br>**chairs and new flooring.**|





|||**All of which benefit our members, PHC**<br>**itself, customers at the café and**<br>**attendees to all our events. It is difficult**<br>**at this point, to quantify the difference**<br>**made to attendees and customers**<br>**especially in regard to the effect that the**<br>**pandemic had on hospitality and**<br>**heritage sectors.**<br>**We had a successful money raising**<br>**social event with entertainment provided**<br>**by one of our patrons Bobby Elliott.**<br>**STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES. Re Para 19.**<br>**The Trustees acted in regard to public**<br>**benefit.**<br>**NB Items for the Museum have not been**<br>**acquired as like many museums there is**<br>**not enough room to display the artefacts**<br>**that are already held in storage and to**<br>**buy more would be a waste of**<br>**resources.**|

|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para 1.18|**STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES. Re Para 19.**<br>**The Trustees have acted in regard to**<br>**public benefit.**<br>**Also see statements above in regard to**<br>**summary of purposes set out in our**<br>**governing document and main activities**<br>**in relation to these.**|

|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**We aimed to carry out a programme of**<br>**eight talks on heritage,**<br>**historical/archaeology related matters**<br>**and  along with the Pendle Archaeology**<br>**Group, a sub group of the Friends,**<br>**provide educational and informative**<br>**walks, however many of these activities**<br>**were curtailed by the  lockdown**<br>**requirements of the Covid pandemic.**<br>**We resumed activities as and when we**<br>**were able to.

For the café - tables,**<br>**chairs and new flooring.**<br>**All of which benefit our members, PHC**<br>**itself, customers at the café and**<br>**attendees to all our events.. Talks and**<br>**events benefit people by stimulating**<br>**interest and curiosity in areas they may**<br>**not know about. Gathering together as a**<br>**group improves  social health  espe**<br>**cially in a demographic where some**<br>**members may live alone.  It is difficult at**<br>**this point, to quantify the difference**<br>**made to attendees and customers**<br>**especially in regard to the additional**<br>**effect that the pandemic has had on**<br>**hospitality and heritage sectors.**<br>**Certainly PHC & the staff have benefited**<br>**from a more attractive café environment**<br>**and more ergonomic storage facilities.**<br>**Heritage Trust North West (HTNW) (PHC**<br>**is in HTNW portfolio) benefits by not**<br>**having to provide the financial outlay for**<br>**equipment bought by the Friends and  is**<br>**thus able to support other heritage**<br>**ventures in the NW.**<br>**We had a successful money raising**<br>**social event with entertainment provided**<br>**by one of our patrons Bobby Elliott.**|
