## **Achievements and Performance**
SORP reference
|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|In the past reporting year, the charity has
encountered difficulties in serving its
mission due to circumstances and
restrictions that had come into effect due to
the Covid-19 pandemic. During this time,
Must Be Me has continued to conduct
research into the way in which it may best
serve to benefit the public. In an effort to
re-strategise following the pandemic, Must
Be Me has begun its efforts towards
creating a strong online presence, through
which it can facilitate its services to a larger
audience regardless of any health and
safety-related conditions that may arise
again in the future. Although online
teaching had been deemed unsafe in the
previous year, the team at Must Be Me has
researched methodology through which
online safety education can be delivered
through safe and accurate means. Must Be
Me will continue to work on this
endeavour, and plans to launch a large-scale
teaching platform in 2024.|

|Achievements against
objectives set|Para 1.41|Due to the unprecedented changes the
Covid-19 pandemic has brought to
education and teaching styles, Must Be Me
has changed its objectives in this reporting
year.|
|Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|Due to unpreceded circumstances, Must Be
Me ceased fundraising activities for the
resporting year. This has been due to the
fact that the organisation did not find it
ethical to fundraise with no end goal in
sight, given its changing objectives.|
## **Financial Review**
|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The charity is in a competent financial
position, with the holding amount of
300GBP being stored in its bank account.
The reason for this is that the activation of
fundraising efforts has been paused until
Must Be Me’s new objectives following
changes created by the Covid-19 Pandemic
are clearly demonstrated.|

|Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves

operations of the charity per se, however
there are many surrounding the
circumstances imposed by the Covid-19
virus pandemic. Given the change brought
onto the world by the Covid-19 Pandemic
and following shifts in the economy,
teaching, and governance, Must Be Me has
found it relevant to strategise to improve its
offerings for the best benefit of its
beneficiaries.|

charity|Para 1.46|The principal risk facing the charity is the
changing education landscape brought on
