|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|As described in the summary of main<br>activities, LAERA was essentially dormant<br>throughout the year, with no activities having<br>been planned for January to early March<br>before the impact of Covid began to be felt.<br>The Trustees discussed informally whether<br>there was any point in attempting to continue<br>with LAERA, as it has struggled to establish<br>an active support base since inception as a<br>registered charity in 2017.  However, a<br>sufficient proportion of trustees felt that the<br>situation would improve once Covid19 was<br>overcome, so it was agreed to continue as a<br>dormant charity, with a view to restarting<br>activity in 2021.|
