Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
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	The Activities of the Charity for the year September 2020 to August 2021 were completely shaped by the covid pandemic. With our aim being to serve the local education community through and on behalf of the local church, we had to be creative in the way we did this. Schools were often closed and never able to welcome visitors. We opted to work in two ways, digitally and in practical service of support. Our trustees were able, because of their expertise, to support struggling students, and encourage tired staff. We also provided a number of chrome books to students who failed to qualify for the provision of these from other sources. Digitally we drew on the work of others and pointed schools to good provision for assemblies and curriculum items. Finally we helped establish an ongoing zoom prayer gathering for the whole of Wales.
