Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)	a. To increase public knowledge of the heritage of RAF Scampton and the acts of heroism that are associated with its roles from 1916 until its closure. b. To advance the education of children and young people with regard to their understanding of the aviation-related responses to conflict spanning the period from 1916 to the present day. c.To advance the education of the public with regard to the contribution and sacrifices of RAF Scampton personnel; the Royal Air Force; the people of Lincolnshire and the military more generally to the achievement of peace and reconciliation from 1916 until the present day. d. To preserve and provide increased public access to artefacts and documents associated with the history of RAF Scampton. e.To advance education and further preserve original documents associated with the history of RAF Scampton by digitisation and the facilitation of online access by the public. f. To encourage esprit de corps among RAF personnel by commemorating and illuminating the auspicious acts of heroism and distinguished service of those who served at RAF Scampton from 1916 until its closure.
	Our Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) was set up in 2021 in anticipation of the closure of RAF Scampton and its RAF managed Heritage Centre in December 2022. The principal activity of planning for station closure, and how our charitable objects would be be taken forward with the station’s new owners, was overtaken by HM Government Plans to house Asylum seekers on the station once it was decommissioned. The evolving activity of the group has involved liaison with relevant parties to ensure that the station heritage is preserved, irrespective of the occupier, until such time as active heritage activities can be resumed. No expenditure has been incurred as Trustees contribute their time pro bono. Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit but no expenditure has yet been incurred by the CIO.

Section D Achievements and performance In the reporting period, RAF Scampton stopped accepting visitors and the Summary of the main Charity worked with the RAF to try to preserve a nationally and achievements of the charity internationally important collection form dispersal. We also worked to try during the year to ensure that artefacts loaned to the RAF were returned to their rightful owners. Following HMG’s decision to not allow the sites immediate transfer to a commercial organisation with whom we had been developing a heritage plan, we supported West Lindsey Council in developing heritage preservation measures. As the asylum seekers’ accommodation was always going to be a finite time we have maintained contact with interested parties for when heritage activities can resume.
