have continued to derive satisfaction
through experiencing a strong sense
of shared humanity.
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic
the Charity was unable to hold face-
to-face meetings with a range of local
organisations as had been the case in
the previous year. However, some
virtual meetings, and exchanges of
correspondence, enabled the Charity
to go some way in generating
understanding and awareness within
the community of the challenges
faced by our families and the courage
and fortitude they have shown in
dealing with these.
