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 | Throughout the pandemic our meetings were socially distanced. We were unable to take on projects as we had no fixed meeting space and therefore no workshop. We did carry out work for the charity that provided the meeting space which benefitted their clients wellbeing. We had non-members joining our meetings in this difficult time and they benefitted from the social aspect. They have now become members and have learnt new skills that have provided them with a sense of worth and made social contact that has combatted their isolation. |
