Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The charity has made a significant impact by enhancing the physical, mental, and social well-being of individuals in disadvantaged communities through free Tai Chi, Qigong, and martial arts classes. In Harlow, Essex, and Enfield, London, we provided health and fitness programs that have greatly benefited those with long-term health conditions, improved flexibility, and promoted mental clarity. By sponsoring youth martial arts training, we’ve enabled young people from low- income backgrounds to build confidence and develop self-discipline. Our professional coaches contributing as volunteers to deliver the programmes, have played a vital role in expanding our reach, and through their efforts, we've created a supportive environment for both parents and children to engage in physical activities, strengthening family bonds. All of the charity's programs have been delivered entirely voluntarily and have successfully reduced social isolation, helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds come together to improve both physical and mental health. We’ve also made a lasting difference by addressing significant barriers to participation, particularly for underrepresented groups promoting inclusivity. Looking ahead, the Trustees are focused on securing funding to expand and improve services, train coaches, hire experts, and secure venues to continue delivering these services. By conducting more surveys and consultations with beneficiaries, we aim to align our future activities with the priorities of the people we serve, ensuring our charity remains impactful, relevant, and able to continue supporting those who need us most, while delivering **the charity’s aims and objectives. ** |
