| 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 | During this financial year, the Trustees have met frequently to complete the following activities: 1. Discuss and plan new trustee appointments. 2. Discuss and plan work with partner organisations for future collaboration in furtherance of the aims and objectives of the CIO. Due to the impact of the pandemic on the UK banking system, and challenges faced with verifying the address of one Trustee when they moved house, the CIO has still not yet been able to distribute grant funding due to delays in opening a bank account. |
