ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
This was our first year as a charity, and we laid some essential building blocks to make the Foundation successful for future years. This involved building up relationships with local authorities and key stakeholders.
Our Foundation activities have been modest but practical in supporting our community; however, we now have the correct structures and processes to make a greater impact in future years.
Activities undertaken for the public benefit include:
-
Mini Crusaders: The Foundation has delivered eight Mini Crusaders sessions during the year. This has engaged with 52 participants from across North Wales. All sessions have been delivered at Eirias Park, home of North Wales Crusaders Rugby League Club. Every child gained free access to the sessions and the crusaders match.
-
Holiday Camps: The Foundation worked with Denbighshire County Council to deliver a series of rugby holiday camp sessions in the summer holidays. These sessions were free of charge for children and supported 34 children.
-
Internet Safety Project: The Foundation worked with North Wales Police’s internet safety competition to make children aware of being safe online. This engaged with over 2,000 pupils. Out of the 2,000 people, the finalist (25 children) were invited to a Crusaders home game in celebration of the initiative.
PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The Trustees consider that they have complied with Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 with regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission.
RESERVES POLICY
