Positive AIMs
Trustee Second Annual report up to 31[st] March 2021
Overview
This developing service offers learning opportunities to people in West Somerset who would not normally access mainstream facilities. Sadly, Covid restrictions meant that face to face sessions were ruled out due to government ruling. Last year’s plans to increase activities have been put on hold until meetings can be arranged and people can feel safe meeting in groups.
The only activities in the whole period of this year’s report have been to keep in contact with members who were attending and offering online activities. These proved to be too difficult for many to operate and did not go well.
This third year of business has been trying, unproductive and inactive for the people for whom it was intended. Support for the local community is considered by the trustees to be essential.
Activities
Unfortunately, a small amount of fund raising is the only activity with a positive result. No further activities could be undertaken.
Future
March 2021 saw some hope to start again during this year but until restrictions are lifted by the government no group activities will be feasible.
All trustees are positive about the future of this charity and will work to consolidate the mission and aims for the people of West Somerset.
