Each hub had at least two sessions a week and invited students to join additional online sessions.

Nearly achieved objective:
Original objective for year:	Achieved?
Run follow-up trainings for teachers in Sheffield and Bristol and run trainings in other cities to develop links across the UK.	We did not manage to follow up with our Bristol and Sheffield groups but ran training for groups in Newcastle, Southampton as well as several in London. We included teachers from across the UK m our community of practice monthly meetings.

Develop a new three to five year strategy that takes us beyond 2022	We have started and have a strategy day in September 2022 bringing together trustees, volunteers, students and staff.
Raise over £500,000 in order to make the change we want to make and sustain the growth we have experienced this year. We think the large amount we raised this year was partly due to a windfall of emergency covid funding and as such are prepared to raise less in 2021-22 but considerably more than in 2019-20.	£496,200 - we are finding the fundraising climate more difficult than ever with unprecedented competition for scarce resources in the aftermath of Covid-19 and as the cost of living crisis increases demand.
Room for improvement:
