onset of the Covid 19 pandemic. It has
caused all charity fundraising opportunities
to cease in person and severely hampered
training and exercising abilities throughout
the years, as well as hindering operational
development with external partners.
The team has continued to apply for grant
funding with significant amounts of funding
being Covid19 Business Grants and other
support funding, however the majority of
general grant making organisations have
turned all their funding towards responding
groups for Covid19 of which we were not
involved.
The team has not been actively deployed
this year due to Covid 19 and lack of
significant weather events that may require
our assistance. The team has progressed
well with attaining type D team standard,
with all water training now complete. We
are now finalising equipment requirements
and are on course to complete these prior
to Q4 of 2021.| ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s
