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 initial reporting period, the charity has been able to spread awareness of the levels of poverty in the area it will primarily be active within. This information is key to establishing relationships with donors who will be the foundation for the charity to carry out its purposes and achieve its aims. This led to some donations being received, predominantly by communicating the purposes of the charity by word of mouth amongst peers and personal circles. The trustees have worked on avenues to reach potential donors outside of these circles, by scoping opportunities on building an online presence so information about the charity and its purposes can be found in an easy and accessible way.
