| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing generally older (but not exclusively older) people residing in Evesham and surrounding areas, from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society by providing a place and facilities where they can meet others and undertake creative, recreational or physical activities, learn and pass on skills, gain confidence and support each other socially and mentally. For the purpose of this clause "socially excluded" means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one of more of the following factors: loneliness, isolation, unemployment; financial hardship; old age; mental ill health; poor educational or skills attainment; bereavement or relationship and family breakdown. |

Achievements and Performance

| 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 the year plans for the extension were started and it is progressing well. This will allow us to take on some new members. This year a poly tunnel was erected and has been successfully producing vegetables. The allotments have not been very good, mainly due to the bad weather. The workshops have produced some good results with a mixture of furniture and carving. We now have two colonies of bees which produced a total of 45lbs of honey. We have had a couple of barbecues which were well attended. |
