## **Achievements and Performance** 

Since the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic Gurdwaras across the country have seen a significant change in the way congregations attend and participate in worship. Enhancements in technology have always contributed to a trend of online workshops and ceremonies which were previously unavailable. Although this has its benefits it is still affecting operations and the congregation has yet to reach the numbers previously held. Charity operations were limited for periods of this financial 

year, however, several 3 day religious programs were successfully held where attendees travelled from different parts of the country to participate.
