the Trustees to carry out and is therefore vulnerable to the availability of their time and energy we are not large enough to consider employing staff so will need to remain realistic about our achievable goals all the work of the Foundation is carried out by volunteers and is therefore limited by their availability REVISION TO SCOPE OF CHARITY'S WORK Trustees decided at a meeting in November 2022 that the charity should focus exclusively on schools. This is in order to concentrate resources on where we see the greatest need, considering the pressures that schools are under to maintain and develop their arts curriculum. The effect of this is to suspend for the foreseeable future disbursements for new bursaries and also for contributions to arts projects involving young people but not within schools. Exisiting bursaries will continue as long as the young person needs them and continues to meet the financial criteria. Section D Achievements and performance TAR July 2021
