Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year				Twenty-eight students are in receipt of bursaries for their secondary school education at the Training Centre and it is vital that the charity continues to raise funds for the operating costs ofthe school and the centre; so we continue to support as best we can, both financially and
				prayerfully. One former student	is also receiving a bursary	for university
				education.
				The English Church in Benidorm	continues to minister to	the	needs of
				both residents and visitors. Services are well attended on		the	whole,
				despite the effects of Brexit and	the Covid-19 pandemic.	Revd Alan
				Robertson's oversight ofthe ministry was much appreciated			and Trevor
				and Maggie Ramsey have built	on this and brought their own
				enthusiasm to the task.
				The charity's website was updated and re-launched, so as to			inform
				potential donors better about our work and needs.
