| Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year |
Conditions in Slobozia where the work ofthe charity is based have been extremely challenging in the year ofthis report. The area was affected by COVID restrictions throughout the year. In addition to this in March of last year we were suddenly given 2weeks notice to leave the premises in |
||
| which our residential unit is based. |
|||
| The unit which belongs to Child protection services was to be refurbished |
|||
| with an EU grant —it transpired that part ofthe conditions ofthe grant |
|||
| excluded residential care ofchildren in the refurbished unit. |
|||
| Our Romanian team rose to the challenge negotiated a longer transition |
|||
| time and we eventually moved to a nearby village Slobozia htoua where |
|||
| we were given space in an abandoned orphanage. |
|||
| The accommodation did not have adequate toilet or cooking facilities so |
|||
| the senior staff set to work to make this older building more suitable for |
|||
| our severely disabled children. A wet room toilets and a kitchen were |
|||
| installed and although not ideal they made the building habitable, even if |
|||
| this was more cramped than we were used to. There was no office space |
|||
| and they have managed to install a small office for the chief nurse. |
|||
| The previous building was on the ground floor and located in a public |
|||
| park where the children could be taken. It also had a garden in which |
|||
| disabled play equipment was installed. |
|||
| We have managed to move much ofthe equipment to the new site and |
|||
| have succeeded in getting a grant to install storage facilities in a |
|||
| specifically converted container unit, which we had delivered to the new |
|||
| site. | |||
| Despite the difficulties the community work continued even ifthis was not |
|||
| as much as we would have wished. For example firewood was delivered |
|||
| to families in the district around us who would otherwise not be able to |
|||
| heat their homes adequately during the winter. Particularly important for |
|||
| the families we support with disabled children. |
|||
| There are still many challenges —the accommodation is on the first floor |
|||
| and there are real difficulties in getting the more disabled children into the |
|||
| garden as there is no lift. | |||
| Once again the Romanian staff have loyally supported the charity |
|||
| through some tough times, but the future ofthe charity is dependent on |
|||
| being able to secure security oftenure —the current building belongs to |
|||
| the county council and although it may be possible to come to an |
|||
| arrangement with them this is not certain. |
