Para 1.20 | In 2020-2021, the activities of the Get Exploring Trust charity were halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. During this time, many countries implemented measures such as lockdowns and social distancing to slow the spread of the virus. These measures impacted the charity's ability to carry out its usual activities, such as funding group and individual trips and expeditions to the outdoors, which were limited or suspended to comply with health and safety guidelines. Additionally, the financial impact of the pandemic also affected the charity's funding, making it more challenging for us to carry out their activities. No grants and minimal fundraising took place during the reporting period. |
