Report from Trustees 2020-2021
As stated in our last report 2020: the year 2020 started out well for F.L.A.M.E This was the year we were to celebrate 10 years of service. Project Titled:
Movement ‘n’ Culture .
Unfortunately due to covid-19 we had to adjust and find ways to deal with our students. Classes were delivered online, mentoring for students and parents, encouragement and support for home- Schooling. This helped us to maintain relationships and connect with our students throughout 2020 to 2021 as our focus lead to more creative outcomes. Our usual sessions creative writing, music, dance and art. Newly implemented extra help with English and Math’s supporting parents whom requested this support for their children.
It was stated that our project would be delivered in 2021 September with the hope that lock down would be lifted.
Achievements
Our achievements during such time were working closely with four students whom we worked closely with developing their business plan, which is now up and running successfully. Shay-Joinery is doing very well, however Pure Talent is in the process of changing the name and looking at new development within Secondary Schools and University.
Feedback Parents and Students.
Parents and students sent a big thank you for the support they received during the Pandemic and looking forward to a new beginning.
Finance
Due to covid 19, lock down this caused a big impact on raising funds, we did not apply for any grant during this pandemic as the committee and trustees did not know how long it would last. There were no positive decisions from the government during such time as to when lockdown would be lifted. We were given dates to restart only to disappoint our students on each occasion.
Finance was an issue, but we still continued as all workshops leaders and other volunteers decided to continue support with students and parents on line regardless of our current situation because working with the less fortunate and their well being was more important than funds.
In 2021 once lockdown was lifted we applied for funds to enable the restart of our project for 2021 Sept, Knowing the impact will be a struggle but we have to aim to re build.
