Main activities during the reporting period
Trustees have come together as a board on four occasions during the reporting period with the focus being on generating a business plan which would enable it to kick-start the allocation of grants which in turn would enable the charity to demonstrate public benefit and use this benefit as a mechanism to attract further funding.
Due to unforeseen di�iculties in securing the anticipated funds to develop the business plan, this work did not come to fruition which is why there were no financial transactions in the accounting period.
Despite this set-back, positive progress has taken place with respect to developing a Memorandum of Understanding with the CIC that will enable it to support the charity through the provision of both administrative and financial support. This in turn will allow the charity to shift its activities from enablement to those which will have a direct impact on public benefit.
