Achievements and Performance
The charity has worked extremely well to support residents
The Charity have supported a local community facility, working in partnership with community members, and facilitating the development of the premises that focuses on children and young people with disabilities and more complex needs. The facility also hosts a parenting group that makes use of services and organisations supporting the early years and promotes the growth of friendship groups and supporting parenting. We accessed a grant for the purpose of making safe and upgrading the facilities kitchen, so that food and snacks could be prepared to encourage health eating within the groups. We worked in partnership providing guidance on growing the group and supporting families. In doing so we have been working to the charities outcomes and benefitting the public, that promotes appropriate play, education, and care facilities.
The Charity have also piloted a parent and toddler group in anther community venue, this time supporting community volunteers to set up their own group, and following this pilot, the group are now running sustainably, creating enough funds to pay for the hire of the venue, equipment to run the sessions and have access to information and advice from the charity. In doing so, we have
been working towards our charitable outcomes of providing good quality information advice, as well as promoting activities for the public benefit.
All trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Over the last year the trustees for Glenside Community Association have been working hard to ensure all policies are up to date, as well as focusing on the maintenance and development of our community hall. Volunteers have worked hard to help the charity develop an identity, supporting each other and working as part of a team to support our communities. The charity relies on volunteers, and it would not be possible to operate without them. We have developed links with local service and now promote inclusion for children with a disability or more complex needs.
