Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the branch set out in its governing document

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)		 The Branch is now building up to be fully operational since the
restrictions for Covid have been lifted. Despite restrictions we were able
to hold a number of events including a Remembrance Service and a
school children’s remembrance service for the local community. Plans
are already underway for more forthcoming events and
commemorations.
We have training arranged for a welfare officer. Once the training has
been completed, we will be in a position of offer assistance to those
who need it on a more formal independent basis. Some of our
members have continued to call our vulnerable members to check on
their welfare and wellbeing. We have continued to provided
reassurance to our vulnerable members that we can support them if
required.
As with the previous year, fundraising has been severely affected by
the pandemic. The fundraising team have managed to arrange some
activities in local supermarkets to bring in some income. It is planned
that 2022 will see an increase in fundraising activities.
Major refurbishment work on the building has been completed
externally. Further works continue inside the building, bringing parts of
the building from disrepair to a useful commodity ie offices. This
investment will also have the additional benefit of increasing the value
of the property.
The Trustees are all aware of, by briefing and instruction, of the
statutory requirements included in the Charity Commission Guidance
on Public Benefit PBS, PB2 and PB.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

Welfare grant making is carried out in accordance with the RAFA Welfare system through trained Welfare Officers.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the branch
during the year		 Some events had to cancelled due to Covid restrictions, however, as
restrictions were lifted during the reporting period we were able to
undertake some activities. Despite the issues raised during the year
due to Covid the Branch Charity remained healthy and stable. Branch
membership numbers have remained fairly stable with only a small
reduction in our membership. It is anticipated that these numbers will
recover as we move from the covid period.
Despite a difficult year the Club has maintained a healthy financial
position and where possible provided a welfare facility for our
members. This has been of great benefit for those members and will
continue to do so. Again the anticipation is that a strong recovery in
attendance will proceed as more events are able to go ahead.
The premises maintained full Covid compliance during the year and
provided a safe, secure and reassuring environment for our members
and the local community.
The Branch club continued to support members throughout the
pandemic with telephone calls.
Refurbishment work continues on the building.		 Some events had to cancelled due to Covid restrictions, however, as
