Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main I would like to start with a positive note by saying that 2019-2020 was a achievements of the charity successful year for Fishwick Rangers Youth & Community Development during the year Scheme (FRY&CDS). Success is a flexible term, and to me increase in projects, planned move to new premises, securing of various funding streams to help maintain our innovation programme of activities, deliverance of varied projects and forging of new partnerships are some of the criteria I would measure our success against. The year starting April 2020 was one like no other; the likes of which the whole world had never seen before. The Coronavirus pandemic brought confusion, uncertainty and anxiety leaving clubs in a state of flux. Not knowing what to do for the best in serving the needs of young people, but following government guidelines in relation to opening, social distancing, social mixing, group gatherings, testing and implementing a coronavirus safe environment. Most clubs simply had no alternative but to close their doors. The continued changing of guidelines and restrictions only led to continued confusion and uncertainty. Combined with the closure of schools, leisure facilities, sports other social settings and the restrictions on groups meeting and visiting each other’s homes led to young people and their families being isolated and confined to their home often in highly volatile situations as the stresses of the pandemic affected other family members. Throughout the following 12 months, we utilised the flexibility of the furlough scheme with staff being on / off furlough throughout to account for busy and quiet periods, often part-time as and when we were open, restrictions allowed, and we could return to delivery. On behalf of management committee, I would like to thank all the staff, volunteers, users, stakeholders and the agencies for their positive contribution in making us what we are today - A proactive and friendly organisation meeting diverse needs of the community. FRY&CDS through considerable hard work has evolved into an effective ‘partner’ organisation, providing a link with the community and a platform to reflect the ever-changing needs of the community.
