## **Objectives and Activities** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes<br>of the charity as set out in<br>its governing document|Para 1.17|The object of the CIO is the advancement of<br>education for the public benefit in:<br>•<br>the social and industrial history and<br>heritage of the West Midlands;<br>•<br>issues affecting young people<br>(including but not limited to eating<br>disorders/alcohol and drug<br>consumption/bullying/antisocial<br>behaviour/social media); and<br>•<br>intergenerational perceptions of young<br>people,<br>through the facilitation and public exhibition<br>of community led media engagement<br>projects.|
|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.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|We were registered as a charity (6 March<br>2020) at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic<br>which meant that our intended activities of<br>the facilitation and public exhibition of<br>community led media engagement projects<br>have been unable to take place.<br>This situation has continued into the next<br>financial year with the uncertainty that Covid<br>presented to people gathering together.<br>Had we been established with reserves we<br>may have been able to divert funds into<br>acquiring PPE or digital equipment to move<br>our activities online but we were not in this<br>position.|
|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|We were registered as a charity at the start<br>of the Covid-19 pandemic which meant that<br>our intended activities as outlined in our<br>purposes were unable to take place due to<br>government mandatory restrictions: face to<br>face media workshops for public benefit in|





our area for a large part of the period. In January 2022, when restrictions were lifted, we still did not feel it was right to gather people together whilst the vaccination programme was running. The government restrictions also put our intentions to apply for grant funding on hold without the intended activities being able to take place during part of the period. Furthermore, a great deal of previously open grant avenues had closed for arts projects, with a focus on health led charities. 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.
