|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 to
promote social inclusion among young people
aged between 18 and 25 who are socially
excluded from society as a result of their status
within or experience of the public care system in
particular but not exclusively by the provision
events, activities and experiences during the
christmas period. For the purposes of this clause
‘socially excluded’ means being excluded from
society, or parts of society, as a result of an
individual’s status within or experience of the
public care system and the resulting factors:
unemployment; financial hardship; youth, ill health
(physical or mental); substance abuse or
dependency including alcohol and drugs;
discrimination on the grounds of sex, race,
disability, ethnic origin, religion, belief, creed,
sexual orientation or gender re-assignment; poor
educational or skills attainment; relationship and
family breakdown; poor housing (that is housing
that does not meet basic habitable standards);
crime (either as a victim of crime or as an
offender rehabilitating into society).|

purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|South London Christmas Dinner is organised by a

most scrumptious dinner for young care leavers,
aged between 18 and 25. As well as a Christmas

## **Achievements and Performance**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|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|SLXD became a CIO in July 2021, the
volunteers having come together to host a
Christmas Dinner for Care Leavers during
Christmas 2020. We were not able to host
an in-person event due to Covid lockdown
restrictions which again thwarted an
in-person event for Christmas 2021. Instead
SLXD hosted an online event both years that
were well attended.
In 2021 SLXD also ran a dinner in Ealing.
We were able to deliver 20 Christmas meals
in South London and 13 in Ealing. SLXD
and Ealing also delivered gifts, food
hampers, handmade quilts, hand knitted
items and gift vouchers to over 40 young,
care experienced people in 2021, increasing
our reach from 34 young people in 2020.|
|**Financial Review**|||
|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|SLXD started with £3,133 left over from
Christmas 2020. During the year a further
£16,020 was raised with £12,360 spent on
gifts, food hampers, Christmas dinner and
minimal running costs. We finished the year
with a balance of £6,793 split between
Ealing-£3,622and South London -£3,171.|
|Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|SLXD holds reserves simply to ensure there
are enough funds to host a Dinner in the
following year. There are no paid staff or
ongoing lease commitments so there is no
need to hold funds in reserve to cover these
costs, however the Trustees feel it is prudent
to have some funds to give confidence of
continuity.|

|Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22||
|Details of fund materially in
deficit|Para 1.24||
