## **Achievements and Performance**
||SORP reference|||
|---|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20||1. Holiday Visits:COVID-19 regulations have
prohibited holiday visits by children this year,
but this summer we were allowed to
welcome local orphanages for a short break
instead, which they thoroughly enjoyed.
2. Shoe Boxes:as a direct result of the UK
leaving the European Union, the Romanian
government introduced stringent new laws
that prevented our charity from delivering the
usual supply of Shoe Boxes to children
attending school in the four villages involved
this Christmas. Alternative means of sending
the boxes were considered but proved too
expensive. Ultimately we supplied food
parcels to a number of families locally, along
with the Social Programme children. We
were also able to give toys to the latter, as
well as their classmates in the village
schools.
3. Ukraine/Russian War:in February 2020,
when Russia first invaded Ukraine, the
charity was asked by the Mayor of Cataloi if
Casa Valentin could be used as a clearing
station for refugees crossing into Romania at
nearby Isaacea. Our trustees readily agreed
to allow this and by the end of March, a
number of refugee families had been
transferred to other villages and towns in
Romania.|

helpful in view of the needs of the Ukrainian
Refugees at this time.|
