Section D Achievements and erformance p
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
The charity saw one of the dullest years since its inception because of the pandemic restrictions. The temple remained closed for most of the year except for the first 2 months. Majority of the charity activities are held during summer and winter months which were severely affected. The organisation has a zoom account which kept some of the meeting going. The AGM, Executive meetings and the trustee meetings were held online to plan for post pandemic recovery.
Several members of the charity are senior (plus 50) and belong to the BAME ethnicity who were shown to be vulnerable to contract severe covid therefore our activities were further curtailed.
The funding was available to run the day to day expenses through regul;ar donations by members and trustees.
