|-|Many individual donors and various|
|organisations supported our general|
|appeal, including 16 Rotary Clubs,|
|Reading Family Church and the Ross|
|& Sally Russell Charitable Trust.|
|Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Creating|
|Better Futures were unable to undertake our|
|usual fundraising activities. During the year,|
|the Reading Half Marathon was postponed|
|to November, resulting in a smaller event|
|and we were unable to host our annual Out|
|of Africa charity gala ball. Instead, we hosted|
|a number of online events and appeals.|
|Creating Better Futures was also successful|
|for a number of small general grants during|
|the year, but the opportunities were reduced|
|on the prior year due to increased|
|competition for grants due to the Covid-19|
|pandemic.|
|During the year Creating Better Futures|
|continued to be provided with free office|
|space in Reading by Centric Community|
|Projects, but due to Covid-19 pandemic the|
