## **Positive West Midlands trustees report** 

The group has had a strange year, with the years of 2020 and 2021 dominated by the Covid pandemic. The group could not meet physically for the majority of the period covered by this financial year, so we endeavoured to maintain contact via zoom. 

By arranging a zoom business account, we were able to hold 2 long meetings each week, which were open to all members on Mondays and Fridays, and this prevented our members from becoming completely isolated. 

We also held a general knowledge quiz via zoom each week, with a grand prize of an Amazon voucher for the winner(s), who were then invited to prepare a quiz for the week following. This helped to keep members engaged and entertained. 

Unfortunately the lease for out premises was taken back by our landlord on April 2021, as they wanted to redevelop. Useful and valuable assets were retained in a storage unit, and the rest of the assets donated to other charities.  We obtained permission to use the upstairs room of a business friendly to the group in Birmingham city centre, for when physical meetings resumed in September 2021. We are able to use this room once a week, but not further and the assets remain in storage. 

New premises remain elusive but we remain optimistic. 

We believe that we have coped relatively well under difficult circumstances, with the membership still engaged under the reduced circumstances, and with new members having also joined the group.
