Achievements and Performance

| 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 | In its first year the charity obtained the rent-free use of premises in Bedford Square, Exeter. This was extensively used by ourselves and several other organisations, for the purposes outlined above. During the course of this financial year the premises lease ended, was not renewed and we failed to find new premises. Activities were curtailed but not ceased. A partnership with a like minded organisation is now on the offing. This will possibly lead to a small change in our name and objectives – to more closely align with our prospective partner. New premises and funding will likely result. |
