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 | - Work experience project with a local college of Further Education to create a rap song & other resources for Flower Power Book. Students performed Flower Power! to primary school children at a local library and at a local school as part of the school’s wellness week. Students completed their rap song and published it on the website. - Workshops were held at a local library, and talks were given as part of school assemblies at 6 primary schools as part of Flower Power! themed whole school community project weeks. A talk was given at a local WI about the book and mental health awareness. - Books were given to Staffordshire “cared for children”, also to “cared for children” in Derbyshire, parts of Stoke-on-Trent and parts of Peterborough. - An additional resources package for “cared for children” was added to the website Resources Hub. - Our volunteer ran a storytelling workshop using the sensory knitted garden that she had created. We can confirm the following achievements where our resources have been taken up by schools and libraries: 1. The mental, and, particularly, the emotional health of children in primary schools who have engaged with our resources has been positively enhanced. 2. The mental health and wellbeing of teachers in school has likewise been supported by working with our resources. 3. Feedback from our workshops confirms that the mental health of children and the public who took part has overwhelmingly been nurtured and improved. 4. Children and adults who have engaged with our book and resources are empowered to report and share what they have learnt within their families and communities; in this way, our work benefits wider society as a whole. |

| How is the charity constituted? |
Para 1.25 | CIO |
| Trustee selection methods including details of any constitutional provisions e.g. election to post or name of any person or body entitled to appoint one or more trustees |
Para 1.25 | At present there are three first charity trustees who are appointed for life. Since we are a small charity, we have no plans to appoint additional trustees. Any subsequent trustees would be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the current charity trustees. The selection of individuals for appointment as charity trustees would have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of our CIO; applicants would need to provide a detailed CV, and attend an interview, after which a unanimous decision from the first three charity trustees would be required before any appointment can be made. |
