Where the charity operates: Throughout England 

Achievements during the period covered by this Trustees Annual Report (TAR): Progress with organisational development was slowed due to Covid restrictions. The Circularity Foundation reached out to potential project partners and potential funders.

The charity's first Annual General Meeting was held on 13[th] January 2021.
