|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**From February 2021 the Old School has**<br>**been used as a Covid Vaccination Centre**<br>**and this has continued through to date**<br>**(Nov 2022).**<br>**With the easing and subsequent removal**<br>**of government covid restrictions it was**<br>**possible to re-start use of the Old School**<br>**by local groups.   All our previous regular**<br>**groups have re-started and a couple of**<br>**new ones have been added. Our rooms**<br>**are now pretty much fully booked.**<br>**Following covid, some groups now have**<br>**reduced numbers and use a smaller**<br>**room, for which we charge a lower price.**<br>**Overall, all our income is still sufficient**<br>**for the Trust to maintain and improve the**<br>**building.  We are fortunate to have signed**<br>**fairly long fixed price contracts for gas &**<br>**electric on terms that predated the war in**<br>**Ukraine.**|
