## Section D Achievements and erformance p
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
## ❖ **Homework Club**
The usual time at our church base has not been possible. The Project Co-ordinator has kept contact with the families by putting together boxes of activities and ‘treats’ and carefully distributing these to homes as well as electronic contact. Feedback from the families showed much appreciation. At the time of writing, the Project Co-ordinator has linked with a water activity group (canal at South Troydale Estate, Newton Heath) and it is possible, under NYA and UK Gov guidelines to have some form of outdoor activity for the Homework Club. This will be risk assessed and covid secure managed.
❖ **Church Support** This has not been possible except by way of Zoom. Rooted has gone Zoom. The Games Club and Messy Church have been halted. Hopefully, these activities and the rest of LSET church support will be back to normal by the time the LSET AGM takes place.
## ❖ **TLG**
The Project Co-ordinator has continued the contact with school electronically. A frustrating time indeed. She is in the process of recruiting coaches and making links with other schools.
## ❖ **Open the Book**
The Team have produced sessions by submitting videos of their roles to Hannah who then edits and compiles into a final video that is sent to school. This is ‘broadcast’ to the children in assembly. Not ideal but the work continues under these devastating but necessary restrictions.
## ❖ **Diary of a Disciple**
Temporarily suspended due to covid restrictions.
## ❖ **Volunteers**
Again, covid restrictions have meant that contact with volunteers has been and continues to be, at the time of writing, curtailed. The project Co-ordinator keeps in touch with the volunteers, electronically, where possible. The maxims from the last report (see below) will still stand when we return to ‘near normal’.
`o` All activities are carried out by volunteers under the direction of a Project Manager.
`o` Volunteer policies are available to view on the LSET website.
- All volunteers are subject to enhanced and up-to-date DBS checks.
