Using properties for good - providing funded stays and experiences to those who need it the most or to sister charities for fundraising. 2. Sustainability – to ensure no wastage from the serviced accommodation industry, by collecting non-perishable foods and lost property and donating to local food banks and organisations. Never throwing out useable furniture or linens – always donating to local communities. 3. Partnership working – working closely with small local charities to give back to local communities in any way we deem fit and proper. 4. Supporting young entrepreneurs through desk sponsorship, mentorship, and work experience. Our main purpose of using the properties for good has encountered challenges the last few years. This has detracted from being the main focus as we perform risk assessments on who these stays are appropriate for; how we facilitate this and ensure the safety of these staying and the safety of the properties being donated. Ideally the goal for 2025 would be to own our own property that can be used for good causes. However, this would require a significant amount of fundraising. We have engaged external advice for this. In partnership with local foodbanks, we have the infrastructure to get food to the people. We have also donated food and useable bedding and linens to get these to people in society who need it the most. These donations are taken from our partner organisation Pillow Partners who manage serviced accommodation. When the items are no longer deemed hotel quality, we will repurpose these for people who need then the most. Costs associated with this are the laundering of the items to make good for donations. **5** Partnership working – as above we have worked with local organisation on various campaigns such as easter eggs for children, selection boxes at Christmas and meals to be given to the elderly on Xmas day. Our partner organisation Pillow Partners often donate staff to allow us to facilitate this help. We are also working with respective charities abroad. Supporting young entrepreneurs is a new Pillar that was added at our offering with the addition of our new office space. Sadly, the donation centre and office space deemed far too expensive and we have had to give this up at the end of 2024 but will revisit in the future. **6** ## **Structure, governance and management** Our charity is governed by a constitution. Trustee recruitment and appointment has continued his role as trustee. **7** ## **Achievements and performance** During the year we have attended networking and worked with partner charities to facilitate our purpose.

We currently have a cash pot of £400 reserves and are looking to build this up. **8** Details of any deficit We have a potential deficit from outstanding wifi contract – amount unknown. Donated facilities and services Pillow Partners donate staff time for all manner of activities.
