Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	We provide essental informaton to pharmacists to improve patent access to evidence-based sleep informaton at the earliest possible stage and raise awareness of symptoms and the treatments available for those sufering from sleep disorders. We engage in research that accelerates access to evidence-based help for sleep disorders. We do this to advance health and save lives of those directly and indirectly impacted by sleep disorders.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	We contnued with our partner the Chemist + Druggist (no fee transfer either way) to make our content free CPD and widely available. We have created independent and evidence- based video educaton content for Community Pharmacy about suspected sleep disorders. We remimbursed a trustee for reasonable travel expenses to record video content £80
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	The trustees consider that the charity’s actvites provided public beneft through the advancement of evidence-based sleep services in Community Pharmacy, and research to develop the protocols and tools to enable wider access. Suspected sleep disorder suferers in the Cambridgeshire area have benefted directly and in the process we are developing the model of care for a larger roll out. Patents that would not typically be assessed for sleep disorders have been identfed (e.g. post-menopausal women)and have now

received treatment enhancing both their quality of life and life expectancy.
