Public benefit
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit:running a charity (PB2)'. As a charity we are asked by the Charity Commission to consider whether our activities provide "apublic benefit."
The Management Committee (Trustees) has considered this matter, in accordance with the latest guidance. It believes our services do provide a public benefit and therefore justify our charitable status. We have complied with the duty in section17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission and in planning future activities.
Volunteers
Volunteers are a vital asset to our community initiatives, services. They play a key role in nearly all our activities, and many individuals and families generously dedicate their time to serve as volunteers.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Over the past year, we have made significant progress in enhancing community engagement and providing educational opportunities for all ages.
Our weekend school has successfully supported around 94 children, enriching their learning experience through various educational programs.
We have hosted seminars for children and youth focused on future career paths and academic development, equipping them with valuable insights into different professions and the skills required for success. These interactive sessions encourage students to explore their interests and aspirations while engaging with guest speakers and participating in hands-on activities.
Our youth initiatives, including regular football matches, foster teamwork, character development, and healthy living, while also boosting self-confidence and self-esteem.
We have organized numerous educational outings to historical sites, museums, and nature preserves, enriching participants' understanding of our community's rich cultural heritage and inspiring curiosity.
For adults, we have provided education and language classes to promote social development and integration, along with seminars on parenting skills and career guidance.
Our craft workshops have also sparked creativity among our young participants.
Through these initiatives, we have created a thriving and supportive environment that nurtures learning, well-being, and community cohesion.
