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





|||In addition, the organisation supported local<br>Filipino groups by facilitating artistic and<br>cultural performances at community and<br>social events, further advancing Philippine<br>arts and culture within British society.|
