Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The COVID pandemic has affected us significantly. Many of our regular fundraising activities, such as the annual walk and concerts, could not go ahead due to restrictions so we have relied on our regular donors to maintain a level of income.

Fortunately we were chosen as a beneficiary of Westclif High School for Boys Charity Year. The proceeds will be received in 2021 and should be c. £6,000 which will give us further certainty and help maintain our funding levels adequately throughout this difficult time.

Essex Vocal Coaching continued to deliver some online tuition although we were unable to provide the face to face individual tuition and workshops planned

We were delighted that our funding for Bright Opportunities for Special People (BOSP) was able to be utilised in providing respite support to families of severely disabled children. In all BOSP delivered 16 group music therapy sessions giving 182 music therapy places totalling 525 people hours. Positive testimonials were received form BOSP and the families involved.

Fundraising has been very difficult due to the pandemic restrictions and whilst our income was significantly affected the Charity remains in a strong financial position with good reserves

The major events contributing to our income were Sponsored Duathlon (Tony Wood) O Spittle

The Charity remains very grateful to all those who support us on a one off or regular basis especially through such challenging times
