The charity has downsized its activities throughout the Coronavirus period, supporting its Salam LADC Lebanon partner on the ground, but otherwise not engaging in new activities and minimizing spending.
Salam LADC UK does not have any paid staff, and only reimburses its trustees for reasonably incurred expenses as well as expenses/costs approved for advancing Salam LADC UK’s charitable work, in line with its Constitution.
In line with its constitution, trustees that are not allowed to vote on matters that pose a conflict of interest. None of the Trustees have received any compensation for any of their time, effort or contributions, neither directly nor indirectly.

Throughout 2019, Salam LADC opened up its own bank account and thereby successfully launched its own independent finances without having to rely on operating under the auspice of Salam LADC in Lebanon and Norway as well as PRISM the Gift Fund.
The first donation in the new bank account was received in September 2019, after which Salam LADC UK has focussed its fundraising efforts and activities on ongoing support for Salam LADC, including through a grant from Help Refugees, as well as a newly launched Free Border Skate program, in collaboration with the company, Every Girl:
**Summary of the main** _Free Border Skate (FBS) is a female led, female centered skating_ **activities undertaken for the** _program, created to use roller skating as a tool to bring people together_ **public benefit in relation to** _and to positively change the lives of vulnerable people through the_ **these objects (include within** _therapeutic nature of physical activity and the confidence building that_ **this section the statutory** _comes with learning an extreme sport._ **declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance** _This program is being launched in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley on the_ **issued by the Charity** _grounds of Salam LADC in Lebanon, by hosting roller skating sessions,_ **Commission on public** _training local teachers and building a roller skating park. Through the_ **benefit)** _collection of donations, volunteer coaches and both purchased and donated skates and protective gear, this program is designed to be sustainable in the longer run and intended to bring refugee children from Syrian and Palestinian nationality together with vulnerable Lebanese youth._
2020 saw no change in charitable purpose or new trustees, or otherwise transfer of rights/responsibilities among trustees. Salam LADC, through its Free Border Skate program, raised additional money for Salam LADC in Lebanon to provide relief efforts in response to the August 2020 explosion. Otherwise activities throughout the COVID period have been minimal with no travel and minimum activities by members.
