Additional expenditure supported operational costs as well - ethical investment policy as other additional activities - adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** Amberliegh was started because several needs were recognized within the community: poverty, gang culture, disability and lack of self-confidence. It was important to empower children and young people to develop their talents in a safe space while developing self-confidence and self-esteem through music, drumming and dance as well as other performing arts styles. Secondly to work inclusively with both children with additional needs and non-disabled children and young people together as one group. African Drum and dance gives African and Caribbean children a chance to enjoy, appreciate and take pride in their cultural heritage while sharing it with children and young people from other backgrounds and cultures. Amberliegh’s programme of activities helps bring parents and carers of all children together, especially at the Saturday classes, where the sessions are very inclusive. The classes allow parents and carers to find mutual support from one another which helps create respect and tolerance between non-disabled and disabled children and among children of different cultures, backgrounds and races. The Trustees for Amberliegh thank the funders and donors for all their support during this difficult financial year. We also wish to thank all the staff and volunteers as well as our supporters during this challenging year and look forward to enjoying another exciting year. ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** Digitally signed by Elaine **Signature(s)** Elaine Audain Audain Date: 2026.01.05 14:41:29 Z **Full name(s)** Elaine Audain 8 **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Chair **etc) Date** 2[nd] January 2026 9 |Amberliegh||||Charity No
