| Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year |
The global Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant alfect on the activities and finances of the charity over this reporting year. Following government guidelines, the station dosed on Monday 23" March 2020. |
|
| With 14 watchkeepers willing to carry out watches, we were able to |
||
| reopen the station on Monday 6th July 2020, albeit with strict hygiene |
||
| and distancing procedures in place. This enabled a resbicted service of |
||
| two four-hour watches per day at best to take place, each with /ust a |
||
| single watchkeeper on duty. |
||
| In October 2020 our watchkeepers, being a part of HM Coastguard and |
||
| under HM Government's definitions of 'Public safety and national |
||
| security', received Key Worker status and, therefore, able to travel to |
||
| their place ofwork dling resbicted times. This allowed us to continue to |
||
| offer a limited service as before throughout the remainder ofthe reporting |
||
| year. | ||
| The limitations due to the pandemic caused station availability to fall |
||
| considerably. Of the maximum possible watches over the reporting |
||
| period of 803, watchkeepsrs were on duty for 532 of them giving an |
||
| availability of66.3%. |
||
| With the public excluded from visiting the station and the cancellation of |
||
| afi normal fundraising events, ths charity has received little income. |
||
| Donation cans placed at various retail outlets, whilst offering some |
||
| revenue, appear to have suffered from the trend towards a cashiess |
||
| society. However, the charity has been able to fund afi necessary |
||
| payments from its general fund without the need to use reserves. |
| As its primary source of income is from public donation, it holds enough |

(Optional information) |
| You may choose to include addibonal information, where relevant about: |
With the Watch Station dosed to visitors throughout the reporting period and other public events, usually attended to raise funds, cancelled due to the pandemic, fundraising was from members of the public contributing cash through donation collection cans placed in local shops and public |
| ~ the charity's principal |
houses, and several indNidual donations. The sale of a redundant |
| sources offunds (including | telescopic aerial tower signNcantty boosted our income. |
| any fundraising); | |
| ~ how expenditure has supported the key objectives ofthe charity; |
With expenditure being no more than the predicted annual outgoings, the income received has matched this and our general fund has remained static. |
