**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

Since lockdown, clinical work has not begun yet. Psychology Sussex Ltd., which supports the charity, diverted a lot of its resources during this time – both from redirected income to the charity (it would otherwise have received directly) and in the form of an unrestricted donation of capital to the charity. 

The trustees are maintaining discussion and gathering feedback from professionals and service users around how to provide help as soon as it is safe to do so, in light of the covid pandemic.
