| Unfortunately, as with many charities, the Covid pandemic has had a negative impact on the work of the Trust. The Charity Commissions own research found that over 90% of charities said that they experienced some negative impact from Covid-19, whether on their service delivery, finances, staff, or indeed on staff morale, resulting from the months of frustration and uncertainty. This has been the case for ourselves. We have not been able to undertake any of the charities’ main activities. Care homes, of course, have been badly affected by the pandemic restrictions and it has not been possible to undertake any activity in the homes. Like other charities we have had to adapt. Fortunately, our income has remained good and we have been able to continue to support nearly all of the organisations and individuals that we supported in 2020. In June we were able to meet a request for funds to enable an individual to complete evangelistic training due to a shortfall form another struggling charity. We anticipate that we will be able to maintain this area of our work going forward. Whilst it is unlikely that the Trust will be able to resume core activities in the near future, if at all, the Trustees will continue to monitor the changing landscape. The Trust will look at possible future activities that may be undertake in line with our aims and objectives. We continue to pray for all those who are, and have been, affected by the pandemic and for those who have responsibility for the care and wellbeing of so many throughout the world. |
