education for the public benefit in:

activities, projects or

accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|We were registered as a charity (6 March
2020) at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic
which has meant that our intended activities
of the facilitation and public exhibition of
community led media engagement projects
have been unable to take place.
Had we been established with reserves we
may have been able to divert funds into
acquiring PPE or digital equipment to move
our activities online but we were not in this
position.
We did however register a website address
(communitymediacharity.org.uk) for which
two trustees donated half of the fee each
(Ms Leno and Ms Hudson) and for which the
amount is shown in our accounts. This fee
was to cover a period of two years from
29/06/20 to 30/06/22.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have|Para 1.18|We were registered as a charity at the start
of the Covid-19 pandemic which has meant| |had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit||that our intended activities as outlined in our
purposes have been unable to take place
due to government mandatory restrictions:
face to face media workshops for public
benefit in our area.
The government restrictions also put our
intentions to apply for grant funding on hold
without the intended activities being able to
take place during this period.
The trustees confirm that they have referred
to the guidance contained in the Charity
Commission’s guidance on public benefit
and will continue to do so with our future
plans once we are able to operate actively.| |---|---|---| |**Additional information (optional)**

the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|We were registered as a charity at the start
of the Covid-19 pandemic which has meant

uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern|Para 1.23|With the continuation of the pandemic
creating some uncertainty, we see this as
an opportunity to adapt our intended way of
connecting with beneficiaries, but this will
only be possible once grant making
opportunities open up to us again and
which we are exploring.
With the world going back to a ‘new normal’
we look forward to adapting in person

we have confirmation of the reduced rates
at our new registered address.| |**Additional information (optional)**
