## Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Due to Covid, Fundraising was quite low this year at £3390.
We didn’t have many children on our books back in September, but this is often the case at the start of an academic year, but it picked up throughout the year. We increased our opening hours to 8.45-2.45 to encouraged for parents with older siblings at school to be able to use our services. This was a great success and was taken up with great response.
We only had 2 fundraising events during this period. A Halloween disco and craft fair.
Links with the local Primary School have continued to grow. Unfortunately due to covid we were unable to send the children which were due to move up to school in September for their usual settling in periods. Hope we will be able to go back to this next year, as the children really benefit from this.
