Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year			0 For obvious reasons relating to the COVID-19 pandemic itwas a particularly hard year financially. ARer the first national lockdown the centre was only providing childcare for children with parents in front line occupations and this greatly reduced the income for the year though the
			costs of running the centre were unchanged. Further we were not able to
			do the usual spring/summer fundraising activities.
			D Introduction of new accounting and nursery management software to
			the setting to improve invoicing and book-keeping activities has proved to
			be very beneficial for our processes and drastically cut down billing and
			reconciliation issues. Additional operational improvements and changes
			to how we purchase supplies has also streamlined our processes.
			Di We have continued to provide quality childcare in a local rural village,
			where possible and within the restrictions ofthe COVID pandemic. The
			first lockdown on 23 March 2020 meant that after this date the centre
			closed to the majority ofchildren however it continued to operate and
			provide care for children with parents in front line occupations.
			D Members and volunteers normally have the chance to carry out some
			fund-raising activities throughout the year, however due to COVID-19 afi
			ofour usual events (Ryan Gooding, Christmas fete, open day, etc)were
			cancelled, with the effect of having no fund raising income within the
			year.
			D Through cooperation with the Council and the school we have now
			Installed a new video intercom to control access more easily without
			taking staff out ofthe setting to let people into the grounds.
