## Note on Charitable Activities in the operating year 2020-2021. 

As a result of the ongoing pandemic situation Moot Hall was closed for business from March 2020 until May 2021. A number of wedding bookings had to be cancelled or postponed and no events were able to take place during that time. As a result the Trust was able to claim some local authority Covid recovery funding. In total the trust received just over £10,000 in grants in addition to an operating income of just over £12,000 in the remainder of the year, meaning the Trust tumed over in excess of £22,000 in the year.
