A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the
main achievements in the year
There were 17 members registered this year, we are adjusting after 2020/2021 Covid restrictions and are starting to get back into the swing of meeting again and doing activities with some guidance still in place.
We have some new members who are completing their pre-enrolment activities and hoping to make their promise in the near future.
This year we have been working on skill builders and unit meeting activities including activities like craft to celebrate particular events such as Remembrance Day, Christmas, thinking day, Mother’s Day etc.
We have also planned some outings with the girls as things return to a normal routine. This included a visit for mini golf, bowling and panto at Christmas time.
Unfortunately, we were unable to organise a camp this year, but are planning to return to this activity again in 2023 when all restrictions have been finally relaxed.
2022 has been a good year for our unit in returning to more normality and reconnecting with the girls as well as new girls coming to the unit.
There was no harm flowing from the Charities purposes and there was no private benefit.
