Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main I would like to start with a positive note by saying that 2020-2021 was a achievements of the charity successful year for Fishwick Rangers Youth & Community Development during the year Scheme (FRY&CDS). FRY&CDS generally, were not alone in having to come to terms with serious and unpredictable challenges during the past 12 months and, while the impact on the business has been considerable, the organisation has shown its strength and determination in plotting a way through them. 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. Our partners and funders have been incredibly supportive, showing their commitment to FRY&CDS whilst also coping with their own issues associated with the pandemic. Sponsorship & Funding income is vital, of course but, in addition, the moral support provided alongside it, the personal messages of support at senior levels from those commercial partners and the loyalty they have shown have been extremely welcome. Young people have shown us that we are not without hope. Young people are experts in identifying and solving societal issues, and the past year has been no different - participants on our programmes have been developing themselves and their communities. 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.
