|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para<br>1.18|**Our vision and purpose is to inspire children**<br>**with the gift of reading. Since our inception we**<br>**have worked hard to provide a constant flow of**<br>**books to children in orphanages and**<br>**underprivileged areas in Uganda.  We have**<br>**solely concentrated on Uganda to ensure our**<br>**strategy is sound.**<br>**In total, we provided 700kg of books donated**<br>**by families across the UK. These donations**<br>**have given 3,000 children the opportunity to**<br>**read. We partner with already established**<br>**orphanages or schools and go to places many**<br>**would not venture and where there is a lack of**<br>**reading resources.**<br>**Our founder became an orphan at the age of 15**<br>**and as she struggled to come to terms with her**<br>**grief and predicament, storybooks became her**<br>**refuge and escape. They showed me that there**<br>**was a whole world beyond what she could see**|





**before her. Books are the gift her mother left her with and this is the basis of Lorna, her mother’s legacy.**
