Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

This period has seen a lot of our event driven activities reduced due to the restrictions of Covid 19. Organised events were not possible in line with national guidelines for a good proportion of the time. However where members have been allowed to legally venture out they have been working individually or with family members within their bubble to keep their immediate vicinity clean. This way of working has been extended to try and establish small groups of local members across the whole region. The idea being that members can organise themselves and go out in their allocated area on days and at times that suits the members. As a result of setting this up we now have about 24 individuals or small groups taking responsibility for numerous areas across St Leonards with approximately half the membership taking part. When allowed organised events have continued to be held on a weekly basis focussing on the areas not covered by the individuals or small groups. Trustees and members have continued to pick litter, tidy streets, report fly tipping, cut back and clear vegetation and tidy and improve woodland. Weekly events continue to attract about 20 members and Trustees each time. The good relationship with the local Council means reported bags of rubbish and fly tipping is normally removed from the streets within 24 hours. A close working relationship with the local Council has also meant getting involved in other Council led initiatives such as the Safer Streets partnership working with other charities, local police etc. to make the area safer. The charity has continued to grow and membership is now at an all time high. The charity has continued to raise it’s profile and publicise it’s activities through various social media.

The trustees have continued to source funding through various grants and donations to enable the charity to be self-sufficient and to enable new and replacement equipment and other essential items to be purchased.
