## Activities

**Activities:** &#x27;It does none of these&#x27;

**Purposes:** &#x27;the advancement of citizenship or community development&#x27;

**What the charity does:** our charity has been running for 50 years this year and we still have one original committee member who is now 80 years old and still is very involved in running our charity. we heavily subsidise letting for smaller groups as the N.A.C pricing is a one for all system and does not suit everyone so we are the go between a person starting out with maybe only 5-10 attendees at a class then we would subsidise them to get them on their feet , we also provide some entertainment for the elderly residents of the area and for the last 3 years we have been providing hot lunches free for anyone on one day a week and we had over 75 people attend which showed us that there is definitely a need for food provisions as poverty is so high in our region as is unemployment. we have a monthly meeting on every 2nd Tuesday at 7.30pm and anyone is welcome to attend with any queries or ideas, we also have 3 committee members that are responsible for keyholding when needed.

**Beneficiaries:** &#x27;No specific group, or for the benefit of the community&#x27;

**Objectives:** To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood without distinction of sex or political, religious or other opinions by associating the local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education, and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare, for recreation and for leisure time occupation and so that the conditions of life of the aforementioned inhabitants may be improved.
