– Reflection Chairs Report
Beginning the year our activity sessions took place on zoom, this was a mixture of activity and social. It was very difficult to try and engage all our participants, we managed to have almost all attend our initial zoom sessions, however, some didn’t enjoy being on camera or talking to a computer choosing not to stay, instead waiting till we returned face to face. Participants who attended had a mixture of quizzes and fitness sessions. They were able to interact by having chats and maintain bonds that formed over the years in group activity. Participants regularly spoke about how they missed their friends, missed being part of a group. They weren’t as active and felt their fitness was reduced compared to before the covid pandemic.
Fortunately, as the weather began to improve some COVID restrictions were reduced. We able to amend risk assessments allowing us to stage regular outdoor activity sessions. To enable this participants and families were involved in the planning of the sessions. 1. to ensure felt safe taking part. 2. so everybody understood the safety requirements. 3. To meet everyone's enjoyment needs.
We purchased some new equipment for outdoor activity. This was all chosen by the participants. We mostly playing kicking and running style games to reduce the risk of contact.
Participants were so happy to return to activity. They were elated when they saw each other for the first time. In a short space of time, we managed to make some gains. One participant who really didn't like football was gradually encouraged. By developing basic skills and then playing little games he finally

enjoyed football. Now the football phobia has gone and everyone in the group can just have a kick around.
As autumn approached COVID restrictions increased and sessions were removed again. This was the case up until the end of the year. We continued with zoom activity sessions, however they were so challenging to engage the young people as they had the experience of meeting their friends again in person and wanted that to continue. Hopefully 2022 will give us the
opportunity to meet again at our activity bases where we can utilise all our skills all our equipment. Gradually we will return participants health and fitness to the levels they were before COVID and rebuild lost confidence and social skills.
Between lockdown restrictions some after school wheelchair sports sessions were able to take place.

Our funders
No requirement for funding this year. Due to covid restrictions, only online and outdoor activity sessions were delivered. These were of limited cost and funded through reserves.
Because overheads were low no donations were accepted from families attending the sessions.
4
Finance
We had an income of £0. We were offered donations from families and invited to apply for grants. Our overheads were so low we felt it wasn’t appropriate to accept donations or apply for additional funds.
Our total expenditure was £1,908.
The cash at bank was £20,322.

Future
2022 will focus on reversing the damage done to participants and families through increased isolation. We will work to rebuild participants friendship groups, slowly restore confidence, and gradually repair lost fitness.
