## **A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year** 

For the year we had 37 Girls enrolled until September 2022 and then we enrolled another 8 bringing us up to 45. 

Through the year we worked on a number of badges allowing the girls to complete theme awards in two areas. 

We completed crafts for Easter, Halloween, Christmas, Mother’s day, Chinese New Year, St Patricks Day. 

We helped develop the cooking skills of the girls by making buns and mini pizza’s. We had trips to the Cinema, and the Share Centre  where we joined with other Brownies for a fun filled weekend Camping and completing various activities. We had joint meetings with Rainbows, Guides and Rangers Joint thinking day meetings with other Brownie Units. 

There was no harm flowing from the Charities purposes and that there was no private benefit. 

## **A statement that the Trustees have had regard to the Commission’s Public Benefit requirement statutory guidance** 

“Benefit is the way in which an organisation's purposes are beneficial and the extent to which they are beneficial. 

For a charity’s purpose to satisfy the benefit element, the benefit must have three key features. Benefit must: 

- flow from the charity’s purposes 

- be capable of being demonstrated 

● be beneficial, not harmful.” 

“For an organisation to be a charity, not only must all of its purposes fit within at least one of the descriptions of purposes, but all of its purposes must be for the public benefit. This means that each of the purposes must fulfil the criteria set out above for the two elements of public benefit to be satisfied.” 

“In practice, this means that a charity must be able to show that its purposes: 

1. Can provide a benefit, and 

2. This benefit is to the public.”  All Trustees are aware of this.
