Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document Para 1.17 To advance education for the public benefit in the arts, culture, and heritage of the Philippines by providing opportunities for people, particularly but not exclusively Filipinos and British individuals of Filipino descent in West Yorkshire and the surrounding areas, to participate in the production and presentation of public performances and other similar activities.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those	Para 1.17 and 1.19	The organisation hosted 16 Filipino cultural dance workshops during the summer of
purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.		2025, introducing participants to the artistry of the Pintados Festival and the traditional _Tinikling_folk dance of the Philippines. From these workshops, we developed a cultural dance routine that enabled participants to tour and perform across the country, fostering pride among our beneficiaries and educating both performers and audiences about Philippine culture, art, and heritage. The activities benefited members of the Filipino community in Leeds and surrounding areas, including Bradford, Harrogate, and Goole. They provided opportunities for young people and adults alike to learn and perform traditional Filipino dances, offering a vital outlet for connection, artistic expression, cultural pride, and well-being, especially for younger generations born in the UK who may feel distant from their roots. These initiatives not only enhanced artistic skills but also created opportunities for volunteering and mentoring, particularly for aspiring choreographers.

		In addition, the organisation supported local Filipino groups by facilitating artistic and cultural performances at community and social events, further advancing Philippine arts and culture within British society.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. In planning and executing our activities, projects, and services, the trustees have ensured that all undertakings align with our charitable purposes to promote Filipino arts and culture and support community engagement.

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	April to July 2025, engaging 30 amateur performing artists from Leeds and surrounding areas, aged between 14 and their 50s. Four volunteers also contributed their expertise as choreographers and dance instructors, enriching the quality of the sessions. As part of the programme, participants created traditional costumes and props to complement their performances, deepening their connection to Filipino artistry and craftsmanship. All 30 artists became members of the Yorkshire Filipino Group Dance Troupe, touring across the country to showcase their routines at two major Filipino cultural festivals held in London and Cheshire East in July. The programme culminated in a collaboration with a charity organisation on the Isle of Wight in August, where the troupe took part in the historic Ryde Carnival and proudly earned 1st Prize in the Illuminated Procession category, a remarkable achievement that underscores the growing recognition of our cultural work and artistic excellence.
