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|To date, much of the charity’s efforts have
been around developing the strategy and
planning. Whilst some progress has been
made, it is still in the relatively early stages.
An intellectual property sharing and
collaboration agreement has been signed
between Chak De Foundation and Hardeep
Sahota, a high school teacher who has in
parallel to his teaching career created a
number of bhangra related assets including
a book and research on bhangra dance
which has generated new insights and
innovations.
The Foundation believes there is an
opportunity to work with Hardeep to digitise
and reimagine these assets, and that this
would very much be in line with the
purposes of the charity.
The aim would be to share these new
digital assets online and using social media
as and when they are produced, at no cost
to the public.
Social media accounts on Instagram,
TikTok and a Facebook page have been
created for Chak De Foundation, as well as
a website.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |
