| Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year |
2020 has proved a challenging year for everyone. Much has been changed by the impact ofCOVID-19 and the repeated lockdown measures. Obviously, many things which had been planned to take place this year had to be cancelled or postponed, for example |
|||
| the Road Victims Memorial Service |
||||
| the annual Gritter Blessings |
||||
| the Traffic Trails events | ||||
| Emergency Faith Responder training session and conference the major planned New Housing Conference In Stamford |
||||
| Meetings ofthe Trustees and Presidents, which would normally have taken place face-to-face, were transferred to Zoom. Initially this seemed a challenge, but very quickly became a blessing. It enabled more people to attend meetings, and stimulated more wide-ranging and positive discussion. As a result, the Trustees were able to continue with all their business ofgovernance, and the Presidents met, with almost 100%attendance, five times in the year, instead ofthe normal two, It is certainly planned that both groups, and several other committees, will continue to meet by Zoom after the COVID restrictions are past. |
||||
| The Presidents and Trustees felt very strongly that CTAL should offer an ecumenical response to COVID, speaking with one voice into the confused and grieving Lincolnshlre community, This |
||||
| resulted in: | ||||
| Ajoint statement ofsorrow and hope A specially written 'Presidents' Prayer', spoken on video by all the |
||||
| Presidents | ||||
| 'Lincolnshlre Remembers: CDVLD grief and hope' an online |
||||
| service produced in September 2020, which has so far been |
||||
| viewed in over 2S00 households. A series of webinars In November, focusing on issues of life after |
||||
| COVID. | ||||
| These activities have achieved notice and response from around England, and stimulated others to undertake similar projects. |
||||
| In December 2020 we were asked to put together and present a Lincolnshire version of 'The Blessing' which went online on Christmas Eve. To the time of writing this has been watched in |
||||
| 2000 households. | ||||
| Although it has proved impossible to undertake Emergency Faith Responder training, the existing network has been put on alert or standby several times during the year. Several periods of storms and heavy rain during the year has produced the threat of serious flooding causing evacuations. The Responders offered themselves very willingly to take part in caring for those evacuated. In the event, the flooding was in each case les serious than anticipated and so the Responder team were not deployed, |
