|---|---|---|
|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|The charity is relatively new, being formed in
March 2023 and exists to support the
activities of a particular religious order and
its members. This depends, to a very great
extent, on the availability of a suitable
property for the said community to live and
from which to operate. Unfortunately, due to
a number of factors unrelated to the charity
and beyond our control, promised
benefactions and donations intended to
purchase an appropriate property have, as
of yet, been unforthcoming. Consequently,
during the period of this report, the charity
has been practically inactive. We await the
promised donations and the opportunity to
commence our work fully. Limited donations
have been received in order to purchase
specific items related to the future operations
of the charity and have been spent for that
purpose.|
