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 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 remain unforthcoming.
Consequently, during the period of this
report, the charity has been inactive. We still
await donations suitable to the purchase of
the necessary property.|
