Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	FS Bulwark has highlighted the importance of the well-being of our young members during the pandemic and has made movements to support this. During lockdowns we have not only offered online activities and training as above but we also offered an outdoor support bubble for our most vulnerable members where guidance permitted us. We have continued to better our young members with nationally recognised qualifications such as First Aid and sporting achievements as well as continuing to offer life skills such health & hygiene, cooking, leadership, teamwork & self-reliance. Since the easing of restrictions we have also been able to branch out into the wider community supporting local church fayres and community charity works such as tea & toast mornings and discussing concerns within the community regarding youth.

Financial Review

----- Start of picture text -----
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 A year into the Covid-19 pandemic and
financial position at the end our finances have reflected this. With
of the period falling attendance due to covid and
lockdowns our subs payments are
down. Our physical fundraising efforts
have been almost non-existent and
grants have been harder to achieve due
to a lot of resources going to covid
related causes.
At the end of this period our current
balance was £631.18
We also had reserves of £10,045.36,
however majority of this is earmarked
for the purchase of a disability boat that
we have received grant support for.
