## Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
2020 proved a challenging year for Chiltern Compass, as it did for the country as a whole. Face to face activity planned for the year was severely curtailed as the country experienced two lockdowns.
We began the year running two successful volunteer training sessions, involving speakers from a local solicitors, Citizens’ Advice Bureau, a local advocacy organisation and a grief counsellor. The second session focussed on active listening. These sessions ran in January and February 2020.
Later in January we ran our only Face-to-face workshop of the year, to a local Church group which attracted over 40 people.
Thereafter, all of our activity was remote, involving editing our website to take account of the pandemic and responding to enquiries via our website. Our website reflected the current difficulties people were facing and offered advice and support during this difficult year. We were pleased to have seen excellent traffic to and around our website at this time.
## **Section E Financial review**
March **2012**
**TAR**
12
Cash at Bank as at 31.12.2020 was £4351.04.
## **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves**
We applied to change the purpose of the grant from Heart of Bucks during the year, when it became clear that our original budget, to fund face-to-face events was no longer realistic. We therefore successfully applied to re-purpose the grant to pivot our work online and employ the services of an IT service provider. However, we retained the contingency in the sum of £500.00 to account for any unforeseen expenditure in the year.
Having regard to the fact that the greater part of the charity's planned activities in 2020 did not materialise and therefore the charity's expenses and overheads were relatively minimal, the Trustees have concluded that it has not been necessary in 2020 to hold any reserves against potential loss of income or specific projects. The need for reserves will be kept under review for future years.
## **Details of any funds materially in deficit**
## **Further financial review details (Optional information)**
Fundraising has primarily centred around the sale of “My EndYou **may choose** to include Of-Life Plans” workbooks, as well as a small amount of donation additional information, income in the year in the total sum of £1675.00 (unrestricted where relevant about: funds).
- the charity’s principal sources of funds It was agreed with the Heart of Bucks fund, that the spend from (including any the grant we were awarded in 2019 in the sum of £3650.00, fundraising); could be carried over for a further six months (restricted funds).
- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
