Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

This was a key year for the charity because of the votes at Methodist Conference 2021 regarding marriage and relationships. In the light of the Covid pandemic its dissemination of information and resources had to take place online. Particular achievements in this regard were a series of awareness-raising videos “Ready for Change” and a regular pattern of online prayer services. We were also able to provide information to many people who sought our assistance regarding the issues at play. The carrying out of these activities online meant costs incurred were significantly less than the would have been otherwise and the charity also benefited from the generous work of a number of volunteers.
