Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
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	During this financial period we have raised funds that have contributed towards four courses, one candidate is currenty training with Paramotor Training at Membury airfield, one candidate is due to commence a course with FlyDynamic and one candidate has completed a course and is now flying solo. During this reporting period, a large donation was made by James Pierce, one of Jame’s friends had passed away and his flying equipment was sold. James donated part of the money made (£2900) to Resurgence Air Sports. James runs a paramotor School, we then paid james back in exchange for two courses (£2300) this was because he was geographicly the closest school to our candidate.
