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 | This was the first year of the charity’s existence. We held a couple of trustee meetings to discuss strategy, and calls with various Charitable Venture Capital businesses, with the aim of growing the capital available to the Charity whilst concurrently investing in start-up businesses developing products / services for the wellbeing of humanity. We made one such investment (Lionheart Ventures). Further substantive operations were held up during the year by our difficulty in opening a bank account, without which it is difficult for us to accept money or make grants and investments. Progress has been made on this issue at the start of 2023. |
