|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.|**Commented [WF1]:**|
