Summary ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
The Charity has continued
to employ a Training
8 Development
Manager,
but because ofCOVID-19, the decision was made that this
position would be furloughed
in accordance
with UK Government
guidelines.
From 14~ March 2020to31"March 2021,there has been no delivery of
any training,
and no delivery ofany Group Travel activity due to COVID-
19lockdown
and social distancing
restrictions.
The idea to deliver the MiDAS theory sessions using TEAMS/Zoom
was
not successful due to technological
issues, and also deemed
futile, as
driving assessments
could not take place due to social distancing
regulations.
During this time, guidance was provided
by the Community
Transport
Association
(CTA) totake the lead on when driving assessments
could
resume,
from the DVSA's guidance
on when normal
driving tests could
take
lace.

free period was offered by Sage which expires in June 2021.
