OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objectives of the charitable company are for the benefit of the community, the preservation of human life and property and for the protection of the environment, to provide, preserve, maintain and/or improve sea defences and flood protection measures in the area of Hemsby, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

Significant activities and Going concern

This year's charity fundraising is conducted through a mix of online platforms designed for specific, targeted initiatives, including the Judicial Review in collaboration with Friends of the Earth and The Good Law Project's Legal Challenge,alongside traditional approaches such as collection pots situated in strategic locations throughout the village.

We continue to lobby for modifications to the Flood Defence Grant in Aid (FDGiA) funding criteria, in addition to meetings with our local MP and County Councillors, all aimed at our primary objective of securing defences for Hemsby.

Meetings are ongoing, at the discretion of Great Yarmouth Borough Council, with essential stakeholders including Planning, Crown Estates, and the Executive directors of the Borough Council.

Consequently, progress towards our goal is gradual but still advancing.

Owing to this the Trustees maintain that Save Hemsby Coastline remains a viable entity, and the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with this belief.

Public benefit

In all its activities and decision making by the trustees of the charitable company, they have taken into consideration the Charity Commissions guidance in respect of Public Benefit.

Volunteers
