Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We are very proud of our accomplishments as recognised by our Parents.

It has been a difficult year with the COVID pandemic and we had to close for most of the year, Furloughing our staff. This mean that no services were available tp parents, who desperately need respite care for their children.

Fortunately, we managed to retain all of our staff and re-opened, after lockdown, in line with Government guidance and with updated policies to account of the pandemic. Unfortunately, we did lose most of our volunteers and as we enter 2022, we have managed to recruit a new set of volunteers as we approach pre-pandemic levels of activity, which our staff, parents and carers are very pleased about.

We continue to maintain the mandatory training requirements (First Aid, Safeguarding, Food Safety) and over the next 12 months will again be investing in Advanced Behaviour Management Training and Enhanced Risk Management.

Staff and volunteer induction has a strong focus on safety and we are designed to provide a fun but above all safe and secure group .
