Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The object of the CIO is for the public benefit the relief of poverty and need of people who are homeless or rough sleeping in England including through (i) the provision of food, personal care items and other necessities (either directly or by means of a credit/ voucher system in cooperation with retailers and other third parties); (ii) the provision of or access to shelter and temporary accommodation for the homeless and rough sleepers; (iii) the provision of advice, support and assistance for persons in need who are deemed to be homeless or rough sleeping which directly or indirectly relieve, reduce or end their homelessness; (iv) undertaking, publishing and promoting research relating to homelessness and other associated matters; and v) bringing the issue of homelessness and rough sleeping to the attention of the general public and developing public awareness of the extent and consequences of homelessness and rough sleeping, together with the steps which are and can be taken to alleviate it. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Thrive UK – Poverty Relief’s activities will be focused around a specially created app, designed to enable the public to make donations (anticipated to be generally of low financial values) for the relief of the homeless in both their local and wider areas. These donations will be used to provide necessities (such as personal care items, food, drink or a night’s accommodation) to the homeless. Homeless individuals will be given credits (anticipated to be digital credits via their mobile phone) which they can exchange for necessities at partnering shops, cafes, hostels, dentists etc. In order to support these activities, Thrive UK–Poverty Relief |
| will partner with retailers, cafes, restaurants and other organisations within local areas. These partnerships will enable the exchange of credits for certain commodities (i.e. a homeless individual will be able to ask a participating café to exchange a credit for a coffee or sandwich). The use of the app will enable low value donations to be easily made, in the knowledge that these will benefit the homeless in the donor’s local area. The use of the credit system also ensures that donations will be used to obtain necessities, reducing the potential for donations to be used to obtain items such as alcohol and drugs. In addition, Thrive UK- Poverty Relief’s App will also provide access for the homeless to the support and resources provided by Thrive UK-Poverty Relief and by other charities and organisations. In this respect, Thrive UK – Poverty Relief will also work with existing charities to provide help and assistance to the homeless. Thrive UK – Poverty Relief will also utilise social media to develop public awareness of, and empathy to, homelessness and the challenges linked to homelessness, with particular emphasis at the current time on the impact of COVID-19 upon the homeless |

Para 1.20 | In the reporting year of01/04/2022 31/03/2023, the charity has remained dormant while the Application has been built and we search for fundraising to enable the charity to run. Charlie Carrel, chair of Thrive, has personally funded the development of the website, app and consultative services of Thrive UK – Poverty Relief. However, the money he spent has not run through the charity, rather it has been paid directly to the companies building the website and App. In the next reporting year, there will be updates included fundraising, team members, volunteers and more. For now, there are no updates. |
