|Summary of the
main
achievements of
the charity,
identifying the
difference the
charity’s work
has made to the
circumstances
of its
beneficiaries
and any wider
benefits to
society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the charity was this year**
**unable to carry out the main event towards their aims,**
**since it was not feasible to organise an event within the**
**covid-19 restrictions.**
**However, we were pleased to organise two online events**
**– an opportunity for performers to pre-record a video**
**contribution to a performance, which was stitched**
**together for a virtual mass band; and a live online**
**“playalong” session to maintain community spirit, where**
**performers could play in time with recordings, giving the**
**illusion of mass participation.**
**Creating an online collaboration enabled participants to**
**join from all around the world, including Norway and**
**Japan. Some of those joining online had not performed**
**traditional British Christmas carols for several years,**
**since they were last in London at Christmas. It is**
**therefore possible that we will explore additional online**
**sessions in future.**
**Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we are pleased**
**that we maintained some form of activity.**|
