In all our activities the Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
The primary focus of our activities is to run day centres for the elderly of St Albans. In addition, we run a minibus to provide transport for our day centres and day centres run by other voluntary groups in the City and District. In providing for the elderly (particularly those with mobility problems) who would otherwise be confined to their homes we believe we are making a significant contribution to addressing isolation and loneliness suffered by this vulnerable section of the community.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
Our activities are only made possible by the time and support given by our network of volunteers – both in helping to run day centres and by providing supporting transport using their own cars. Without this voluntary resource we would not be able to operate. Trustees also give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits.

-
policy on grantmaking;
-
policy programme related investment;
-
contribution made by volunteers.
