Charitable objects
THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND THE RELIEF OF THOSE IN NEED BY REASON OF DISABILITY
For the public benefit to promote and support the education and wellbeing of young people with a learning disability, some of whom may also have an additional physical disability, normally aged between 16 and 30 and living in or around Nottinghamshire, in such ways as the charity trustees think fit, including by:
1 Providing supported training and work experience, through which the young people can acquire specific and transferable vocational skills associated with catering and hospitality, as well as more general employability skills, and enhanced communication and life skills, which in turn builds their confidence and self-esteem;
2 Providing additional training and development opportunities through workshops, and similar activities, so the young people can gain further information, knowledge and skills, and further build their confidence;
3 Enabling the young people to develop and gain more independence that will help them if seeking paid employment, and in effectively managing their own affairs, particularly if living more independently;
4 Providing the opportunity for the young people to be involved in a range of community activities, helping them achieve integration into, and positively contribute as a citizen to, their local community and society, as well breaking down barriers and challenging the negative stereotypes they often face in life;
5 Providing a programme of social activities for the young people and their families, offering new, varied and enjoyable experiences and supporting their wellbeing.
THE ADVANCEMENT OF CITIZENSHIP OR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
For the public benefit to advance citizenship and community development by actively supporting and participating in the local community in such ways as the charity trustees think fit, including by:
1 Promoting the integration of young people with a learning disability into the local community, giving them the chance to make a positive contribution to the local community as independent, mature and responsible individuals, whilst increasing understanding about learning disabilities, helping challenge negative stereotypes and break down barriers;
2 Providing local employment opportunities;
3 Offering local volunteering opportunities;
4 Providing a welcoming and safe space, for all members of the community, helping combat loneliness, improving wellbeing and reducing isolation;
5 Both providing and supporting a range of community events for members of the local community;
6 Providing affordable, well-equipped accommodation for the use of local groups and organisations, especially those that support and encourage good physical and mental health;
7 Supporting local businesses wherever possible;
8 Being environmentally responsible, for example, by ensuring our food miles are as low as possible, undertaking as much recycling as possible, or running events to encourage recycling such as school uniform exchanges;
9 Encouraging all those in the local community involved with Rumbletums - whether trainees, their parents/carers, employees, volunteers, café customers, room users, or those attending social or community events - to be “Friends of Rumbletums”, coming together and helping influence what we do, how we do it and our future development.
