Financial controls were reviewed during 2019 / 2020 and we do not consider that any trustee or volunteer was in a role that required DABS checks.
The Trustees have dealt with the restrictions imposed by Covid19 precautions by continuing to work on-line including all Trustee meetings. This has included the following key achievements:
- Continuing virtual meetings with University of East Anglia [UEA] to consider and design a comprehensive research project to guide integrated care system for delivery of community wide health and care provision in Attleborough as it expands over next 15 years. This is in line with the theme 5 of the Attleborough Neighbourhood plan adopted in November 2017.
