SORP reference During 2021 some JTYAF fundraising events were still able to go ahead but due to the risk of infection rt was felt that the use of volunteers should be limited as muth as possible.

Trustees and volunteers supported the charity at the Boumemouth Air Show Hospitality Day and the JTYAF Christmas Bingo. JTYAF volunteers have avayS played an essential part in the SUC$$ of our many fundraising events. bLrt the thallènges of the Covid-19 pandemic have reduced the impact of their contribution. Para Contribution made by volunteers However, the fijndraising support received from the Air Cadet Junior Leaders Course during this hallenging time was incredible. Despite all the restrictions and drfficuMies. the Air Cadets Junior Leaders staff managed to raise an amount of £27,000 by organising a virtual 'Around the World Challenge.. This made a huge d[fferen to the continued success of the Foundation and to the opportunrties that the ThYAF will be able to provide for young people in 2022. AF Ambassadors are also central lo the operation of the Charity, organising fundraising support and also providing personal funding supporL
