Charitable objects
2.1 The Charity's objects are restricted specifically, in each case only for the public benefit to:a) To utilise the power of technology, media and the arts to develop the capacity and skills of people in socially and economically disadvantaged communities, with a focus on working directly with those living in Knowle West and South Bristol. b) To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, and assisting them to integrate into society. For the purpose of this clause ‘socially excluded’ means being excluded from society, or part of society, as a result of being a member of a socially and economically disadvantaged community.
