| 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. |

The trustees focused on maintaining the charity’s governance and administrative readiness, as well as exploring potential funding sources and partnerships. This preparatory work will enable the charity to commence projects and activities that will support its objectives and deliver measurable benefits to beneficiaries and the wider community in the coming financial year. |
