Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The COVID pandemic is affecting availability of volunteers and has minimised our activities, although it looks like there is a slow recovery.

Contact with statutory responders has not returned to pre-covid levels. And events that we use for self-training are still not running at pre-covid levels either. The amount of events has decreased dramatically and the number of participants in the events has also decreased. We continue to keep available and maintain systems and equipment recorded in section C of this annual return.
