Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

2021 proved another challenging year for Chiltern Compass, with face-to-face activity severely curtailed.

We ran two community talks in the year to local groups totalling over 40 people. One face to face, the other virtual.

We recorded one of our presentations which has been uploaded to YouTube.

The remainder of the year focussed on networking and connecting with local stakeholders. In June 2021, we attended a Bucks Health and Wellbeing Round Table, allowing Trustees and project board members to meet and influence fellow health and social care professionals. In December 2021, Trustees were invited to take part in the Bucks Palliative Care Provider Board discussions, where they were able to network with local stakeholders and discuss a collaborative event in 2022 where we hoped to hold wider discussions within Health and Social care on End-of-Life Planning.

We continued to edit content on our website to take account of the pandemic and responded to enquiries. We were pleased to have seen excellent traffic to and around our website at this time. We had 2880 hits to our website during 2021, peaking in April 2021 with 769 page views in that month.
