Section D Achievements and performance

Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main The Covid 19 Pandemic caused us to close all our classes in 2020 – 21. achievements of the charity during the year Even though we could not put on our usual activities, JOY’s main aim was to keep in contact with our members, by whatever means possible. We set up a couple of What’s App Groups for the dancing and singing groups and those that had the technical know how, kept in contact with each other, by sending positive messages, jokes and videos. A great many of our members were not online and therefore the good old telephone was a way of keeping in contact. Many of our older members with underlying health conditions were shielding and became very lonely and isolated, especially during the serious lockdown months. The trustees made sure that members were aware of Covid Help Schemes and food delivery schemes and many went shopping for those that were shielding. On ringing around, there were already informal groups that had sprung up from making friends at JOY. Despite the difficulties, this was a very positive aspect of the pandemic. Even though the classes were not being held, people kept in contact with each other and helped each other as much as they could. When lockdown eased a bit, members would meet in parks or in a group of up to 6 and later would brave the wintry weather to meet outside each other’s homes. The warmer weather meant that people could meet up in parks or their own gardens. It made us even more aware of how important JOY was to older people to prevent them from becoming lonely or isolated, During the summer of 2020, we ran a Crowdfunder to prepare for a time when we would be able to deliver our activities again and this was very successful. We hoped to run a few classes in the autumn however as the winter approached, we were restricted in that we had another lockdown, Every year we run a big Christmas party which people love but alas this year, Xmas 2020. it could not take place. We decided to use a photo from a previous party and turned it into a lovely Christmas card and we sent it out to all members, by post. We also included a festive hat and chocolates which were much appreciated. . Sadly, we went into another serious lockdown in the first 3 months of 2021 and could still not run our activities. We continued to contact members, by phone, email, text. What’s App, We wanted to reassure them that JOY would be back as soon as we were allowed to run our classes. It has been a tough year for everyone but older more vulnerable people have been severely affected and have sorely missed the camaraderie of being to physically meet together.
