Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

This has been our first year of trading as a charity and as such we are extremely pleased with the success of the venture. We have seen a huge level of support for the charity from the local community and have taken pleasure in being able to support a large number of organisations.

We are a not-for-profit charity and all money raised is shared out via application processes or remains in the bank to be used during the next round of applications if there is a surplus amount.

During December 2020, it was noted that we had a substantial amount of money in the bank and as such we took the decision to share an additional amount specifically to care homes on Anglesey. These beneficiaries were chosen due to the fact that we had received very low numbers of applications in respect of objective 2 at this point.

During the period we have been lucky to be supported by a volunteer who has enabled us to increase the number of items we were able to sort and sell.

During the height of the pandemic we ceased operations for a period in order to safeguard the safety of all concerned and worried that this would be detrimental to the success of the charity, however, the opposite happened and we now have more than 1,000 members on our Facebook group.

We are proud to say that we have shared over £11500 with local deserving causes during this financial period.

In response to our charitable objectives, we are proud to have been able to support the follow number of applications from each objective,

Objective 1 – Education – 20 Objective 2 – Elderly and the sick / infirm – 11 Objective 3 – Community resources – 6 Objective 4 – Sports and recreation – 4
